Skywriting

Thank you skywriter for the entertainment Sunday.  I have never seen skywriting in action. Very cool! I stood in the parking lot of our church from start too finish while my kids begged to go home.  Look how even the letters are, that is talent!

Halloween Dinner

This year Heather went as a nerd. Ashley was a tourist. Aubrey and Michael went as cowhands. So I had very little sewing, only suspenders and some fringe on a cowboy shirt  We put our energy into dinner. Becky brought the chicken, beans and rice. That left the fun stuff for us.

 I carved the brain shape before cooking the cauliflower in water with some red food coloring. It glowed a creepy pink under the black light.

 Aubrey and Heather made the deviled eggs. Aubrey also made the string cheese fingers. They looked so creepy I couldn't even eat them. The jar is just sour cream with some green olives.

 I looked at Fry's for the stuff to make homemade root beer but no luck. So I just poured a couple bottles in and added dry ice. Everyone thought it was the most awesome homemade root beer ever until I had to refill and they saw what they were drinking. Next year I need to try Safeway.
I was so excited to finally find something that really glows under black light.  Tonic Water!!  We put it in the apple and grape juice.  Next year I think I will breakdown and buy cool aid or maybe sprite, something super sweet so I can add more tonic water without making the drinks too bitter.

Of the three different kind of black lights I had the energy efficient work the best. they really made the table glow!

Here are the kids. VERY toned down in the costume department. I guess that is just the case as the kids get older. It is all about the candy.

Happy Halloween!

Sunday afternoon we got a silly idea to send some scariness to my son Tyler. He has always been afraid/creeped out by these dolls. One of the dolls is named Helen. I can't remember the others name.  Heather loves them and feels very offended when the boys have  userthem to scare each other by putting them under the covers to be found late at night when crawling into bed.

The other girls wanted in on the fun.  This blurry one was my favorite in print. 

The lack of focus makes it look so real

But Aubrey's face in this one is awesome!

Track Meets

Two track meets two days in a row. Both Ashley and Heather did a great job!
