The secret is.......... Play dead!

Friday night we joined the Sims to celebrate 'Day of the Dead'.

Day of the dead is a Mexican holiday that focuses on family and friends gathering to remember dead loved ones.

The party was held at Frida's restaurant in combination with Rico's foods warehouse in downtown SLC.

The event was also a food drive for the Utah food bank.

You could pay cash for the evenings festivities, or donate 15 cans of food per adult and 10 cans per child.

The boys helped me purchase the cases of food and was proud to haul them up to the donation truck.

 For our donation, Frida's gave us an all you can eat Mexi buffet.

Yes, we had to stare at this whole roasted big that was laying next to the salsa bar, but the mole tamales and chipolte mashed potatoes made it worth it!

The cash bar sold Squatters beer, yummy wine, and mixed drinks.

Somehow my plastic cup was always on it's last drop!!!

How does that happen????

A fabulous rockabilly band entertained us as some sat back and relaxed and others danced til the night ended.

A huge back room was set up for the children.

They had arts-n-crafts tables and face painting.

I loved the way the face painted people looked as they walked the room.

Jax felt invincible with his new face.

OK.....maybe I have a sick way about me........

[duh! of course I do!]

or maybe it was the wine, 

[duh! of course it was!]

but I turned to Lisa and said, 

"Let's get OUR faces painted!!!!"  

And in her drunkin-ness, she said,

 "OK!!!!"

I thought we looked AWESOME!!!!!!!

Our husbands on the other hand could not even look at us.

We freaked them out so badly that this comment was made,

"I can not even have sex with you until you wash that off your face!!!  

You scare me!"

So there you go ladies!!!!!!

The secret is out.

If you are tired of using the 'I have a headache' line, 

just paint your face and play dead!

Works like a charm!
