Halloween 2010

Halloween is once again upon us and Alida couldn't be more excited.
She has insisted for about a week that she wants to be Snow White. I was hoping at some point that she would forget this notion and decide that one of her costumes in her closet would be fine. Much do my dismay, she didn't give up the idea and Anthony and I finally caved and got her a snow white costume from Walmart. (granted, I could have made one for less (probably) but it wouldn't have been as cute and I am finding lately that I just don't have the patience lately for little projects that require a lot of attention to detail.
Anthony and I are just going to be recycling costumes that we've already used once before. I am being a "pioneer" and Anthony is being "Bizarro" from Superman. (At least, I THINK that's what he decided on.
Tonight is our ward Halloween party. Tomorrow is OUR Halloween party... and guess what... I haven't done ANYTHING to get ready for either of them. I still need to clean my house (it's looking like a hot mess), plan a menu (it's a potluck party, but I don't know how many guests are coming or what they're bringing... so I have to plan SOMETHING for dinner at least. (I have a dessert planned, but that's it.)
For now, I'm babysitting "Little Sweetheart" and the girls have played princesses, phone (with a little toy phone) and I have been TRYING to get L.S. to go "piddle" in the potty. She says she wants to, but I don't know if she's quite ready.
The girls have been having fun.
