A Sticky Sweet Mess.....

Me and Aunt Alice

Last night was our ward's Trunk or Treat and I got to make the Cotton Candy--oh yeah, it was a sticky sweet mess for sure~all over my clothes and in my hair! Thanks Joanna for showing me how it's done and after a few tries, I had my rhthym flowing! With the help of my Aunt Alice and my cousin's husband Daniel~this was a 3 person job due to the high demand, and bags that were too small (we know next year to get gallon size). It was actually so easy, just pour in the colored sugar and turn it on and it spun round and round, then voila' we had some yummy cotton candy! It was a fun night for the primary children, YW/YM that helped with the games and for our community. They all enjoyed lots of games, food and a hay ride. I didn't get to take many pictures since I was busy with the sugary pink fluffy stuff, but here are the few I did get to take. First few are of Jacob and the others are cousins:

Jacob

JoAnna looking Totally Groovie and her son Joseph.

I wish I would have gotten a picture of her van all decorated with flowers and fuzzies and glow in the dark things. She had "Simon and Garfunkel" playing and we swayed to the music as we gave out candy and glow in the dark bracelets from her trunk. They were definitely a hit with all the kids.

Charlie and Kelli Garrett and their Pirate Family and their Kangaroo they picked up in Australia on one of their many voyages and adventures!

This is beautiful Ella ~all pretty in pink in her little tutu~she is my cousin Erin and Daniel's baby.

I did not dress up this time since my Halloween tote is at my house in Auburn and I didn't have time to put something together or go shopping~lack of planning on my part:(.....however, JoAnna is letting me borrow her hippie outfit on Halloween for work (unfortunately, no time to make coordinated costumes as we had wanted to). Thanks JoAnna! Happy Halloween everyone!
