Heidi came up tonight so we can finish everything up for our show next weekend. She brought Derick with her this time and he is hanging out with the boys playing video games. We have lots and lots to do tomorrow but we did get quite a bit done tonight too. Then we took a break and watched a movie with the boys. Now I'm headed to bed.
My most awesome visiting teachers came today and brought me one of those most delicious carameled green apples with caramel, white chocolate and cinnamon on it. So YUMMY! I love my visiting teachers and especially in October when they bring me those yummy apples.
I totally spaced book club tonight with my ward and I'm sad because I read the book and everything. I had it on my calendar and just noticed it and now I'm too late.
It was digi-scrap class tonight. I got there and my supervisor wasn't there yet but Brad Shuler from my ward was just headed into the building with some biology stuff, so I got in with him but had to keep checking back watching for the ladies in my class and the supervisor to unlock the door. He never showed up! What's up with that? I kept checking back for the first 15 minutes of class so I could let people in. All but one were there and I needed to start class, so I just went ahead. I figured she wouldn't have been more than 15 minutes late and probably just didn't come. I hope that is the case because I would feel bad if she showed up and couldn't get in. I'm going to have to let the school district lady know that the guy didn't show up and that is not a good thing when I've got people trying to get in for a class they paid for.
We had cub scouts today. Man were they on one. We worked on our Citizenship belt loop and we talked about what it means to be a citizen, what we are citizens of (state, city, nation, world, etc) then talked about the difference between being a good citizen and a bad citizen. I threw out some scenarios and had them tell me whether the action was a good citizen or a bad citizen. Then we had them make a poster of something they could do to be a good citizen. We had a couple that didn't want to draw, didn't want to write, didn't want to make a poster, they just wanted to play with Kelly's toys and their cell phones. What is up with 8 year olds having cell phones? I'm thinking we will need to call some mom's and ask them to keep the phones at home or else take them from the boys when they get there and give them back when they go home or something. Anyway, we finally finished the poster and then we frosted cookies to take to the widows in the neighborhood. They were running in peoples yards, playing in their fountains, throwing things. We had to stop after the 2nd house and give them a talk on what we had already spent the first half of scouts talking about, being a good citizen, being respectful, and how to treat other peoples property. They did calm down a bit and were much better at the last house we went to and then they even said thank you to us as their leaders when we finished. So, hopefully something sunk in. Maybe I was just being cranky, but they had way too much energy for me to handle today.
When I got home we rushed out to Trevin's last football game. They lost again. He did have a fun season though and he doesn't usually take it too hard when he loses. Is that a bad sign or a good sign?
When we got back I started on dinner and Travis and Tyrel headed to young men's where they played Human Clue. They had to figure out who kidnapped the Bishop. They said it was fun.
Sean got the bid for the company in California that is buying the apartment complexes in Salt Lake. So exciting!
So, do any of you do the Groupon thing? We have got a couple of good deals through them. We got tickets for the Provo River Halloween Cruise and we went last night. We took Sharlynn with us since we had to have her buy one of the tickets so that we had enough for the family, and that left us with an extra ticket since we have an odd number in our family. Trevin helped me make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that we took over with us for treats. We got their just in time for the 7:00 cruise, but there was lots of people waiting, so we got on the list for the 7:45 cruise. It really wasn't too bad of a wait and we had fun chatting and visiting as a family. Sean thought we should sing the family night song for everyone there, but the rest of us didn't think it was such a great idea.
Quite a few years ago, when Trevin was just a toddler, there was a mother daughter party at the church that I went to. They had everyone bring baby pictures that they numbered and hung around the cultural hall and one of the games was to guess who's who. As I got my picture out to take to the church, Travis saw it and said, "Why do we have a picture of Trevin in a dress?" I laughed and told him that it was me.
Fast forward to this week. The challenge at the Stuff to Scrap forum was to scrap ourselves and our daughter, or us and our mother or grandmother, or whoever we think we look like, etc. I immediately thought of this incident and went and pulled out my picture and Trevin's picture and thought we looked similar, but not just alike, so I then pulled out Travis' baby pictures since he and Trevin I thought always looked a lot alike. Upon inspecting pictures of all of us at the same age, I think Travis looks more like me than Trevin did, but I ended up putting all 3 of us on the layout so you can all judge for yourselves. Kind of a fun thing to do.
Heidi came up this morning and we spent all day getting things ready for our home parties and the family history event we are doing in 2 weeks. It will be so fun. We got a lot accomplished today but still have more to do tomorrow. We are still looking for people to host parties in their homes. We have some scheduled but would like to get a few more in before the holidays and we are going to be doing our first weekend digital scrapbooking retreat in January, so watch for that! It will be fun, productive, and we hope lots of people want to come!
