My Crazy Dad

This is what my dad "normally" looks like.

Halloween

I have a pretty straight-laced dad, type A personality and a right to the point kind of guy. He is a get it done yesterday and don't waste time doing it kind of guy too. Needless to say he was never all that wild and crazy growing up, but when we would go on vacation or somewhere fun he would make up silly songs and be a little bit silly. When I saw that he wore this costume to work on Halloween, I just about had a heart attack. My dad! What a nut. I guess you would need to know him a little better to know what I mean. I just had to share this picture.

Halloween 2008

Snow White

Super Girl

Batman

Maddie was Snow White, and the night before Halloween I decided that I should spray her hair to be black. I went to all the stores in the area and couldn't find any hair spray stuff anywhere. I was gone to Walmart and then Walgreens and even Albertsons trying to find some. I have to let you know that it was after 9 when I went looking. If I had been better prepared then I would have had it. I never found any, but the next morning I called my sister in law and she had some. She always has everything. I decided to put it on her and let me be the first to tell you it was a mess!! A nightmare! She had black on her from heck to breakfast. It was awful. If you haven't ever tried it, don't. So after we used almost an entire bottle of black spray, we got her in her dress and off to school. By the time we got to the school later for the parade, she was covered in black. It was all over the back of her dress, on her hands and who knows where else. As soon as we got her home from school, we put her right in the tub. By the time we went trick or treating she was back to her beautiful red hair. It was actually way cuter that way, but I was trying to be cute etc... No more. We will stick to the red hair from now on. Makenna was super girl and so cute. We went to her school for the parade and waited forever for the school to make around the parade route. It was fun, but we were sure ready to go home after. Seth was batman and so funny. He told me for the past two months that he was going to be a dragon, but needless to say I couldn't find one. I didn't want to spend a fortune, so we settled with Batman. He loved it and looked so cute. We had a great time trunk- or- treating with Anna's ward and then went to visit Grandma Max for some yummy stew and to see the other cousins. It was fun and we only got a little bit wet.
