What do you do... (Part One)

...when it's -50F?

Have your own fairytale ball.  I've not been the only one going stir crazy with cabin fever.  Last week Thursday and Friday the temp was -50F at 6 AM so school was closed.  Friday was already a scheduled day off for inservices.  Friday night, the girls decided that they wanted to have a "Ball" so they dressed up, had a make-over, closed all the curtains, turned the lights out, cleared the living/dining room out and turned up the classical music.  Heidi has had some ballroom dance lessons at school for their 2nd and 3rd grade fairytale ball.  She attempted to teach her siblings, but in the end it looked more like Ring-Around-the-Rosy and ballet.

 Craig even got into the action wearing his dress-up clothes.  I'm sure there will be a day when he will want to keep this night a secret!

 There was the final bow at the end of the song and then this started turning a little more unruly.

Tim said they looked a little more like 007 or Charlie's Angels sporting the Nerf gun.  They even served refreshments of peanut M&Ms.  I think they were going to go more dramatic on the food preparation, but Mom toned that one down.
