Haircuts by Mia

Don't let this picture fool you...she is 2 and she is dangerous!

I'm sitting at my computer, paying bills. Mia is playfully brushing my hair. I'm glad to be getting something done and she's happy and not destroying anything...well at least that's what I thought...she's destroying my HAIR! I hear a big snip...and start freaking out. She's got scissors and she's at the back of my head. WHERE DID THE SCISSORS COME FROM????? I run to the bathroom...my hair looks normal. Ok, maybe she just snipped away from my head. So I run my hands through my hair (thinking, I'm ok, no harm done). And then....AHHHHHHH (scream, freak out, scream some more!!) Don't toddlers usually try to cut their OWN hair?

It's your party...

Chad called his mom and said "Mom, we're coming for Halloween, why don't you have a party?" She said "ok, I guess I could do that." So then she asks Chad "so what should we do for the party?" And Chad replies "I don't know Mom, it's your party." :~)

So we stopped in Rexburg and Trick or Treated. It was such a nice evening.

For Halloween, all Indee wanted to be was "something with wings". Haddi was a Vampiress and Sis was Lola (Hannah Montana's friend). Chad was "scarry man" and I went as a clown. Apparently the rest of the Williams clan missed the memo that it was Halloween and we were having a party and they should have dressed up...

Grandma had some fun games...pop the balloon by sitting on it.

Pass the orange between necks....This is Lex passing me the orange...wow, I had to take a breather after this game...hubba hubba.

Jan passing to Chad...we got Jan laughing so hard, she was crying.

The next day the party resumed on the hill side. We all went riding up Indian Creek where Chad grew up trailing cows on horses. It was a little chilly but still fun. I really enjoy 4-wheeling.

Halloween....all week

When I was little, Halloween was only one day. Now between church functions and school activities, Halloween is a week long party. We went to a pumpkin patch in Nampa while we were in Boise for state soccer last weekend. Our college friends, the Hills, took us to a patch near their home. We took a hay ride out to the patch and the kids got to pick their own pumpkin.

Carving...for family home evening.

Mia's not sure about all that slime...

Sis's had to dress up all week for school. The first day was nerd day (she fit right in...just kidding sis.) The second day was super hero day, she was violet from the Incredibles. The third day was pajama day and the last day was your halloween costume. Sis went as Lola from Hannah Montana. I was proud of her. She had a lot of responsibility that week. Because she is the 6th grade rep, she was in charge of all the activities for the week, ending with a carnival that she and the other rep put on themselves. She did a good job.

Thursday was the annual Tetonia Elementary School Halloween Carnival. I was in charge of getting all the volunteers for 28 games. It was a job and I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off the whole night. But it turned out ok. The girls got their faces painted. Sis worked in the spook alley. All this and it's not even Halloween yet...
