Happy Halloween






We were chickens. I found a picture of a two year old online and so I copied the costume. It was cheap! White boas and a 98 cent painter's hat from home depot. The rest was DI and my classroom. We had fun at the trunk or treat and with Michelle and Emily Wasson. The little girls in this picture know me from when I was in primary. They always come up and give me hugs. We had fun!

The Amazing Race





Donnarae and John Phillips invited us to participate in an amazing race. We were the white team and you can see the bios they wrote for us on http://theamazingraceslc.blogspot.com/. It was a lot of fun and to top it off we won first place! The group behind us was only a few seconds behind so it was a close finish. Andy and Bree were on our team and we won a garden gnome trophy and a coldstone giftcard. It was so much fun, but we ran a lot and are pretty sore. We went to the coppermine, the magna fire station for a relay, Cabella's to count black bears and do some shooting practice. We also ran a lot from house to house, park to park naming tools in some guys yard, quick dinner break (which was timed), iceblocking and then to Thanksgiving point to run about a mile to the finish line. It was intense, trying to get ahead of people and going from place to place, but we had a fun time and look forward to doing another if we ever get the chance.

Marc's Pumpkin



We carved pumpkins at the Wasson's tonight with Michelle and Emily. I wish I had my camera there because their pumpkins were great, but at least I got a picture of Marc's when we got home. He used an electric saw. It was hilarious.
