A Hair-Raising Experience

Last night was our ward Trunk or Treat. Being the Lame-O that I am I didn't take ANY pictures at the actual party. I snapped a few at home afterwards, though. Okay, really I just took pictures of little cutie-pie Violet and Hallie's crazy Pippy Longstocking hair. But, lo and behold this morning my sister-in-law, who's in another ward said that my sister-in-law, who's in another state (!!!) called to say that she had seen pictures of us at our party and that the kids' costumes were so cute.

Wow.

Good thing the Lake's took pictures and posted them on facebook for us. Thanks, Lake's!!! And here are some of their wonderful pictures that document the lives of my children:

Cavewoman Grace and her friends, Aubree and Ellie.


Pippy (Hallie) and 80's Girl (Hannah) eating chicken and corn chili. Yum!

I thought I was getting cut out of this picture. Hmph. Anyways, Violet was a 20's Flapper and Zane was a spider. He's been saying for months that he wanted to be a spider so this is what we rigged up.


It was then time for the first session of the Great Candy Trading Summit of 2010 to begin.


There was wheelin' and dealin', whinin' and cryin' and outrage all around. Whoppers for Airheads, Suckers for Bottlecaps. Kit-Kats were selling like hotcakes.
When the kids had exhausted all avenues of compromise with each other, they descended upon The Mom (she had a secret stash of chocolate joy that she was saving just for such an occasion).
It was fast, it was furious, but in the end all were satisfied.

Next up: Party #2 tonight at the neighbor's. We are livin' it up over here!!!
