Tuesday Bradley had preschool and I had a stake primary meeting in the evening. We played outside a little, but last week was really cool, so not for too long.
Wednesday we went to the library and did a little more work on costumes. We went outside but it was really cold. I could only last about 30 minutes. We also picked carrots and got rid of most of the other plants.
They all thought it was pretty funny that we grew baby carrots.
Thursday we woke up to a little snow and then after dropping those guys off at school it snowed about an inch. Bradley, Connor, and I helped in Lauren's class. They were working on their favorite things Page for their all about me books. It was kind of funny how the groups would have similar favorite things..like one little girl drew a Christmas tree and they all decided they loved Christmas trees. This also happened with ice cream, strawberries, graham crackers, and pillows. That night we had a community potluck and halloween party. There was a lot of yummy food and fun games to play. They had planned on having the whole thing outside, but I talked them into eating inside and just the games were outside. It was in the 30s. I ran the pin the spider on the web game.
Friday it was so cold that the 2 sliding doors on the car were stuck shut. One of them got unstuck on the drive to school, but the other one was still stuck when we went to go help in Jared's class. That made it challenging to get Connor's car seat into the car since his door was the one stuck. Bradley and Connor had fun playing at their friend's house and I had fun getting read to by all the kids in Jared's class. I was having a pretty forgetful day. I was thinking that after getting home we would eat a quick lunch and then hurry to walmart for soap and a couple last little things I needed for their costumes and we would be back in plenty of time to get Jared. I knew Greg would be stopping by on his way home from the temple, so we decided to wait for him...then I would see if there was time to go to walmart before getting Jared. We ate a really slow lunch and I was helping Brad wash his hand in the bath room and I thought about getting Jared...and remembered that he gets done early on Fridays. and looked down at my watch and it said 1:41. I said aaaahhhh! I was already 11 minutes late. I hurried everyone out the door as fast as we could...everyone needed shoes, coats, and or pants. Jared said he was just about to go to the office to call, but then saw us coming. When we got home Greg was just getting here. Perfect timing :) He stayed a few minutes. We got ready to go run our errands. We dropped off leftover apple crisp at Alan's lab, then we went to DI and walmart. That night we had a ward talent show. We juggled and Jared rode his unicycle. They had soup, salad, and bread sticks from Olive Garden. It was a fun night.
Saturday we finished everyone's costumes and watched Greg's ultimate Frisbee game and Greg got a hair cut...and I wish more of the boys had. We watched part of the BYU game. Then we went to a couple of fun Halloween activities in the community. First we went to the central Utah gardens. They had a pumpkin carving contest and some fun games. Some of the pumpkins were really amazing. Then we went to the Riverwoods. They were having a pumpkin festival there and we went trick or treating at the shops there. It was a fun afternoon and everyone loved their costumes. Bradley didn't like the way I made the octopus at first, but by the end of the first place he said I'm never taking this off...he got told how neat and cute he was a lot. Jared did too which was good because I had a hard time telling if he was having fun. Then we hurried to winco and home for dinner and bed.

Check out my crazy hair...and ignore the messy room
Today was a good day too. I went visiting teaching before church and church went well. Some of the kids were singing so loud in primary their faces were turning blue. It was a fun day. After church we went over to Jeff and Elizabeth's for a Harry Potter dinner. It was super fun. We all got to get sorted and have badges and eat yummy food. I should have brought a menu home. Alan has been reading Harry Potter (the 1st one) to these guys at bed time. They only have 1 chapter left, so they were super excited about the dinner. After dinner we played apples to apples. Thanks for a super fun evening. I was wiping the bathroom sink a little earlier because it was pretty bad and Lauren said what are you doing cleaning the sink. I said yes and she said why are you doing it without me? Do you want me to do it? I love that girl.
