Trevor's Stake was hosting a "learn everything about social dances" Beehive / Deacon Halloween-themed dance. (They even had LasVegas wards attending.) So, Shelly and I took our hopefuls to a costume store in town and tried to get them both to dress up like Romans. Connor fell in love with the zombie costume pretty much on sight, and he couldn't be persuaded out of getting it. [Connor, you looked so handsome in that Roman outfit!!!!] Alas, I bend to his choice. The skin pealing face make-up was skipped because he did not want to wear it to a dance and have it wipe off or anything while dancing.
From what I could gather, he had an absolute fantastic time and now looks forward to his first stake dances next year. (The adult leaders all had paperclips to hand out: One for getting enough nerve up to ask a new girl to dance. One for carrying on a conversation with her while out on the dance floor. Another one was given for offering to get her refreshments or thanking her for the dance, etc. Paperclips were also handed out to the girls for similar courtesies. Paperclips were chain-linked together and traded five at a time for Halloween goodies. I thought this was a great idea.
