Head Lice :-(

So, my little angels were at it again. They were quietly playing upstairs while I was working in the kitchen. After a few hours and a movie, I went upstairs to put something away and I saw this... (there were dresses packed on that shelf)


So, the next morning I went to do Natalie's hair for preschool when I saw a bunch of dirt in the part I had just created. But, when I looked closer and saw one of those dirt spots moving I almost screamed!! I called my mom (who was working at an elementary school that morning) and cried to her. She had some lice products in her nurses room there so we jumped in the car. Then begins the mental agony attached to this awful situation. What have my kids been doing over the last week, who have they played with and who do I have to call and break the news too? What do I have to clean and disinfect along with the laborious process of combing out the little bugger - so, yup,those pictures have a little more meaning now. As soon as I got home I put Ashley down and put the product in Natalie's hair, started a movie and spread halloween candy on the floor to keep everyone occupied and happy. After three hours of combing, I got Natalie's hair cleaned out. We went to the store to buy sprays and shampoos, then it was back home to begin the laundry and toy cleaning. It was a long week - a long quarentine week of cleaning, sanatizing and avoiding. No fun!

More Halloween Fun

We attended the annual McComb's Halloween Party. It is always fun to see what people dress up as. There were showers, an "operation game" couple, a few Sarah Palins, smurfs, Snow White, hippies, indians, and Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook and Wendy. The best part about the Peter Pan duo was Tink - he is a 6' 5" male in his 40s. His legs lookes pretty amazing in tights and a short green dress! I wish I had a picture - look at some of mylinks and I'm sure you'll come across it :-)
Sommer Reynolds, Jenn Evans, Me and Rebecca Pierce
Marcilicious and me - isn't she hot?

The Temus' and my parents, the tacky tourists - The Temus's were acutally going to come as mummies, but after 30 min. of putting on their costume, watching it fall off to reveal their underware, they decided to change ideas ;-).
Jill(in back), Jodi, Elizabeth, me, Tari, Laurie and Kathryn on the floor.

Ben and I went as homecoming King and Queen. Jodi and her hubbie were punk rockers. It was funny - as we were waiting for the McComb's front door to open, a fog machine hissed and Sean's guitar hit Jodi in the back - she screamed like crazy. It was pretty funny.

Brookie and Baylie holding hands as they walk down the dark street- they stuck together as the older kids raced on ahead.

Leaving their first house!! It was chilly and foggy - a perfect night! Especially after it had been raining all day.

Trick or Treat!
Friends! Natalie, Nataie Ward, Baylie, Emma and Brookie

This family was so fun!! Can you see their little football baby! Heidi - you guys are awesome!

Doing a fun game at the Fruitland Ward Halloween party. The girls loved it.

Natalie and her friend Andoni walked across the stage holding hands for the costume parade. They are in the same preschool class.

They had a curtain up to take pics. Ben was at work so he wasn't here - and no, I'm not pregnant - it is just a fun angle :0(

The two witches :-)
