alice's 1st halloween

our pink poodle

like, we totally had, like an awesome weekend!!

on friday night we went to an 80's murder mystery party, thanks to summer and phil for a great party. we did not bring a camera so go here and here for some great pictures of the party.  my cousin, danielle, did my hair and make up for the party. A BIG THANK YOU.  i look better in 2008 dressing up like the 80's than i actually did in the 80's. 

 

then saturday night we had our ward fall festival.  (aka halloween party).  it was so fun, good food, and lots of activities for the kiddos, including  a horse and a haunted house...here our some pictures.  i was stuck doing my own hair and makeup.  um, yeah, i can't do make up or hair very well.

i had to put in the two pictures because one is good of nash and one is good of jeff alice is the same and, well, i am hot in both... what is up with alice, WHO KNOWS. she was very happy to be there.

these our our friends the youngs, jessi was in charge of the activity and i was her little helper.  i love todd's face.  we all rocked the 80's.  (or tried to)

alice and chloe

i lied...

to alice. i sorta feel guilty about it, but i don't want her to think her momma can't make crafty things. yesterday was super saturday and i signed up for a few projects. one of which was this cute tote.

i made the halloween tote, i mean i signed up for the halloween tote. amy, who creates these adorable purses, asked me if i just wanted the sample so i didn't have to make one. i might have mentioned to her before that i would buy that one instead of making one. ANYWAY... i gave the purse to alice tonight and here was the conversation

me: "alice, this will be you trick or treat bag for halloween"

alice: "no mom it will be my church bag to carry my scriptures."

pause

alice: " did you make this purse mom?"

long pause

me: "yes?" ( i was a little hesitant)

alice: "or did you buy it?"

me: "no, i made it."

sorry alice
