Best of Both Worlds

We survived Paige and Claire's "Rock Star Party", where you got to have the best of both worlds. The girls all received a backstage pass in the mail and had to wear it to be allowed in. Brant the bouncer was very stern and strict -- no pass/no enter. The moms thought it was hilarious. Each pass had their true identity name and their "secret rock star" name. All the rocker names were rhyming state names --- Claire Delaware, Elaine Maine, Pippi Mississippi, etc. After serving microphones and soundbites (corndogs and party mix), my lovely neighbor Jill and I performed their rock star make-overs. Huge thanks to Jill for doing the make-up. She went home covered in glitter, but giggling at what she got to leave behind.
After the make-overs we played a quick game and had a photo shoot in front of the stage. Notice all the pink hair and red lips. The gobs of glitter didn't show up in this phot, but, trust me, we'll be finding it for weeks.
The pass.
This I threw in to show off Iowa. Can you tell what this is? Look closely. The reason I took a boring picture of the side of our black grill is to show off the snow. Yes, people, it snowed for about two hours yesterday. Nothing really stuck, but still honest to God snow in October. Jeez, I am so not prepared for this.
