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.

Bailey came over to play on Thursday, we went to the Castle for a snack. The Castle is the convenient store at the bottom of the hill by our house. It's name is "the Castle" because when it was being built, and before the gas bays were up, Roo said they were building a castle for us. It had that Dental molding around the top of the building and a big opening for the doors that looked like a castle door could have been installed. So "Castle" stuck.





Anyway, Bailey introduced me to my first taste of Funyuns. They weren't awful. In fact, they were delicious. I should have never tried one. Naughty Bailey.

The girls started playing dress up, which turned into a fashion show, with me as the audience. Little Jessica knows all about these shows. Her and I have been invited to many. The first fashion show looked like this:


Bailey as Scarecrow, Elasta Girl as Dorothy with a Toto in her basket and Roo as the Wicked Witch of the West. They were so cute and creative with our dress ups.

I didn't take any more pictures of them but the fashion shows soon turned into mini skits. One with EG as a pirate and Bay as the beautiful rich girl that the pirate stole from then made walk the plank - a cardboard box lay ed out flat. Another skit was Bailey as a Celebrity and EG as a crazed fan. They were pretty funny. Bailey and Elasta Girl are the best of friends, EG and her are all giggles when they are together. I'm so glad they have each other. I hope they are friends forever.

Roo thinks those two are WEIRD.

Oh, by the way, I painted this red, it used to be white I think it needs something more though. Maybe a black rub over the top. Any suggestions from anyone crafty?
