Warning! Long blog post ahead. Beware.
What comes to mind when you see this picture?
Oh, no! The Davis' had a house fire!
Why is Glynne just taking pictures of their house on fire?
I know she likes to take pictures, but that's weird.
Don't worry! None of those things are true - well, the thing about me liking to take pictures is true... but that goes without saying.
Here is a story of what is happening in this picture:
Once upon a time, on a late Sunday night, a large, crazy family decided to carve pumpkins. The dad went to the store to get the pumpkins, but got distracted by the other cool things (namely, a fog machine - see where this story is going?), and forgot to pick up the pumpkins. The mom had to go all the way back to the store to get the pumpkins. While she was there, the dad pulled out the fog machine and strobe lights he had bought. He thought that the fog machine would produce fog that floats gently over the ground, but as you can tell... that didn't happen. The fog enveloped the whole house. It invaded every area. It also smelled gross. The crazy family hadn't had dinner yet. So, they ate in the fog.
Eventually, the fog went away, and they could see well enough to carve their pumpkins. THE END.
Great story, right? That's our family for you.
Mom made us brownies while we carved pumpkins. Keep in mind that this is all happening around 9 o'clock. At night.
Here's Kate's finished pumpkin! Can you guess what it is?
It's supposed to be two ghosts... but I think it looks more like twins in a womb.
Emma did tinkerbell. She did a great job. It's super cute.
This is mine! It's of my favorite broadway show (also the only broadway show I've ever seen...) WICKED!
This is my favorite. Ally did Wall-E.
I LOVE IT! It's absolutely perfect.
Order of pumpkins from left to right: Emma (Tinkerbell), Dad (Dracula), Jackson, Isaac, Kate (Two ghosts/twins in a womb), Glynne (Wicked), Jonah (J), Ally (Wall-E), Landon (Lego Man)
A couple days later, and it was time for Halloween!
Mom made this Queen costume for Kate out of an old dance costume, and two choir dresses. She also made her a scepter that lit up with Christmas lights, but somehow I didn't get a picture of it!
Emma did her hair. It was gorgeous.
Landon and Isaac were soldiers. Later, Landon put some red face-paint on his elbow and tucked his arm up so he looked like an amputee. It was awesomely believable and gruesome.
Jackson the race-car driver!
And... we older girls were nerds.
Everytime I look at a picture of all of us, I'm a little shocked. Is this how we look to you all?! There's like a trillion of us! It's craziness.
Jonah's giving kisses now! Oh, and walking ALL THE TIME! It's adorable! He walked the soonest of us all. For the record, I'm second. ;)
Jonah was exhausted by the time we left trick-or-treating. He could barely keep his eyes open to crawl.
Aw! Look at Mr. Fredricksen sleeping.
Well, that was our Halloween!
I hope yours was just as fun.
