Ward Parties

One benefit of having Dan in a student ward bishopric is that I get to choose what time I want to go to church. Another benefit is that we get double the parties.

Dan's ward had their party on Thursday night. Anda went as Quint from Jaws being eaten by the shark. She even had the explosive tank that (spoiler alert!) Hooper eventually kills the shark with.

I went as a pushy wife who loves pie and insists that she get to be a judge in the bake-off instead of her husband. Also, Dan is on a diet and being really good about it.

Dan judged the costume party instead. Labyrinth David Bowie won, but only because there were TWO Tobias Funkes and Dan felt bad picking one over the other. Anda politely applauded, even though she was a little disappointed not to win.

Our family ward party was on Saturday. Anda just went as the shark this time.

She got to plays lots of games and even got to pick out two cupcakes--one when she actually did the cake walk and the other when she got away from us and waddled all the way across the gym directly back to the cupcake table. She is her mama's baby.

We didn't do trick-or-treating this year. We figure we've got plenty of that in our future and everyone had enough sugar in their bodies already. All in all, it was a very successful month of Halloween.
