Sister Competition #72,096...

Sister Competition #72,096:
Halloween Invitations

Okay, I'm sure you've caught on to the competitive nature of my family! Anyone who knows us knows that we love a little competition. In fact, we can have normal conversations that evolve into crazy competitions all the time! Kind of like this one...


Macy: I'm so excited for you and Nate to come to Idaho for Halloween. We're going to have so much fun!
Me: Macy, we're not coming. We never said we were!
Macy: Well, I'm gonna make an invitation that's so good, you'll have to come!
Me: Oh yea?! Well, I'm gonna make an even better invitation, and then you and Daveed will have to come to Denver for Halloween!

And there you have it. A competition evolved. It didn't take long before Maxi heard about it, and naturally, she wanted in on the challenge. Then there were 3...

Brook is a busy person! But, we felt it was only right to ask her if she wanted to be apart of this, and, well, then there were 4...

In our family, there has to be rules, because if you don't make rules, someone always cries (I won't say who usually cries, but I'm sure you can guess!). Here are the rules of Competition #72,096...
  1. Create a Halloween invitation for each sister.
  2. Has to be in the mail by October 11, 2010.
  3. All 4 invitations will be posted on a blog to be analyzed and voted for by random "visitors of the blog".
  4. Winner gets to host the Halloween party for real!
  5. Losers (there will be 3 of them) will be given a new blog background to be determined by the winner. Background has to stay on blog for one month!
  6. Losers have to dedicate a special blog to the winner.
I think we've started a yearly tradition, because this has been so much fun! I'm still waiting to receive one invitation, and then I'll put them up for voting! Even with the rules and regulations, I think there will still be some tears :)

  1. ok, so I was wondering who always cries...(Macy?) Why is that? Is it because she's the youngest? Hmmm...I would like to sit down with you 4 girls and go over family dynamics...seeing as how I have 4 girls myself! So Kelly, when you get here for Macy's Halloween party, why don't you bring Maxi and I'll call Brooke and we can do it then. (wink)

    p.s. Can't wait to see those cards and backgrounds! You know I love to make homemade cards!

  2. OMG!!! I can't believe you put up that picture! It is soooo on! You better watch your back, dude! Looks like Lataun is going to have a family intervention with us and we can resolve our conflicts then! jk But it does look like Lataun thinks I'm going to win! Did you see what she said? "So Kelly, when you get here for Macy's Halloween party." She is right! I will win and I will be seeing you for my Halloween Party! (Bring Nate!)

  3. It only took one night of cards with the family to understand this competition thing. They start out nice and by the 4th hand they go in for the kill. All but Claire, she is my new BFF! Thanks again for a fun night! Kathy
