Trunk-r-Treat....

I don't know if it's just a silly Utah thing, but last night was our wards Trunk or Treat. Basically everyone met at the parking lot of our church house and all the kids went from car to car trick or treating. Also, there were donuts and apple cider.


Maddy decided to be a Vampire Hairstylist this year. Actually, she decided to be that before last years Halloween was even finished. Ruby wanted to be about 5 different things, one being Maddys Vampire hairstylist assistant, but ended up dressing as a "Shiny Princess".


My friend has this super cool make-up stuff called "Snazaroo"* and my other friend painted the girls faces with it. We used a Red Crayola marker for lipstick. (hey- you use what you've got)

Maddy's hair was AWESOME (her word). We flat ironed it and then used some super dooper goo to spike it up and make it all "piecy". She thought her hair looked like Jasper from the Twilight movie, I think she looked much cuter than him. She didn't want the cheese ball plastic fangs (her words again) so we got her some "real" ones that we had to mold to her teeth. They were VERY scary.....and also plastic.

The Maddy girls were so excited because I put my actual mascara on them. On a side note, if you have never put mascara on little children before, you should. It's a very twitchy experience.


These pictures were AFTER the fun was over, so the faces are a but smudged but still cute.

You can't get the full effect here, but Ruby's eyelashes-they're HUGE and long and curly. To be honest, (and not at all braggy) they're amazing even without my spectacular mascara.

We had lots of fun, but now we're gearing up for the big actual Halloween day, and the day they dress-up at school. Good grief, Halloween is a production around here.

*If anyone is looking for a Christmas gift for us girls. Hint hint, poke poke, nudge nudge.

The end.

I've never seen such lovely Halloween painting and even lovelier vampires and princesses wearing it. Plus, also, did you really post at 5:29 this morning? You wrote that you commented on my blog at 6:30, so was that AFTER doing your post what that was in the middle of the night? Pretty sure I don't have words fot that.

Those girls are fantastic. And their costumes are fantastic. And their makeup is fantastic. And those eyelashes are fantastic ("but have you seen my kids' eyelashes? THEY"RE amazing..."). And plus, what fantastic fun! And, no, trunk-or-treat is not just a Utah thing.

And I dreamed about your cute family last night. It was a happy dream except you kept making me cut lunch meat. That part was weird.

And to other readers, the bit about the eyelashes was a joke. I am not a meanie. I am mocking someone we know who is.

Hey, Tell Jessica that when her kids grow up they can work in a REALLY NICE gas station. Is that who she's talking about?

So... for Christmas you want...? I'm totally clueless.

Where's the teeth?! Good grief, do I have to come down there...?

The make up is super duper and Maddy looks like something dug up out of the grave. Gotta love it, Halloween.

wow, the girls' makeup is incredible. Maddy is the most beautiful, and Rubles is the most darlingest ever. I love the flower on Mads. It sounds like a lot of fun.
