Forgive me, I don’t have any pictures on my camera from last night’s Halloween party because we forgot to take the camera. But do not fear, I’m having another go at it tonight and will be sure to make Jason snap lots of photos. Besides, I only had five minutes to throw my makeup on and it looked pretty sloppy. One thing about Kat’s makeup, it’s never sloppy. I looked a little more like Kat in Drag than anything.

But the party!! Oh, the party was a smashing success. Seriously, it went off almost without a hitch (we were a little late getting the food out, but there was so much other stuff that it didn’t matter. Besides, the fire alarm only got pulled once).

And let me tell you, from now on, I will rent a Bounce Slide for every single ward function we have, sacrament included (if the Bishop will let me), because the four and under crowd played on that thing for hours. My two youngest were so exhausted that they fell into bed without a peep and didn’t move a muscle until morning.

And the spook ally’s! The youth had spook ally’s all over the church, and after we’d carnivaled in the gym for a good hour + , eaten and announced the costume contest results, we dismissed all the kids to the spook ally’s. It was so good my six year old was actually in tears.

And what do you think I did last night after finally collapsing in bed? I laid awake for an hour ruminating about the ward Christmas party. (It’s going to be a dinner theater production and I’m going to arrange babysitting for the little kids and a movie for the slightly older little kids, and we’re going to have…)

Some people might call this behavior excessive or just plain crazy, but in our church we prefer the word magnify. Like magnifiscent. Which is what the Christmas party will be. I think He deserves it.
