Ward Halloween Party

Can you tell what we went as? (The primary did a cupcake walk--I made the purple and green ones. Lacey mastered the most disgusting slime-green frosting :D).
Can you see what we are now? We had to give some people quite a few hints. Maybe this helps? Speaking of making purple and green things. . . thanks Karen for showing me how to make some awesome bows.

I still remember Halloween... do you?

So, I figured I should put up some pictures of Eenie and Nana in their costumes before I forget what it was they dressed as. Aren't they cute. Eenie's pic is in a cornbox (kind of like a sandbox, but way cooler and less messy). I want one. They had it at Port Farms. (We were finally able to go with our friends the Bruenings after missing out on invitations from other friends--I was so glad we went.) Joanna was the cutest Tinkerbell (and that's saying a lot when you consider how many kids dress up as that ;D). We didn't get a great picture of her. . . she let me put up her hair in a bun and everything (she usually never lets me touch her hair, seriously, I can't even brush it out of her face--she puts it right back if I do!). Anyway, I told her it was Tinkerbell hair, and she was all for it. The next day (this is a picture of the next day) I was able to do it again when I told her it was Princess Nana hair. (She likes being a princess). I think she's cured! I have been able to do her hair a lot more often lately. . . sometimes without even bribing her. Yay!

Little Italy, Erie

In honor of our Italian sister, we went to Erie's Little Italy for their Italian festival and Procession of the Virgin. We didn't stay long, but it was neat to see the people there. There was a casino in the church basement and a raffle that included a party pack with hard liquors. A little different than the church functions we're used to.
