Something Random and More

Preston walking around in Kyle's shoes.

The Christmas countdown blocks from super saturday that I finally got around to making. I couldn't stay for the super saturday so I just picked up my supplies and did it at home. I'm excited to use it! I had a different pattern of paper for the "countdown" block, but you couldn't read the word so I had to get different paper and take off each vinyl letter one by one from the original paper then put them back on the new paper. It was tedious, but it worked. If you look close enough you can see where I picked at them. Oh well. I used modge podge to glue the paper down and then used it to cover the paper. It worked well.

These ginormous books are now ours thanks to Grandma Dee Ann (we'll need to add on to our house to store them! ha ha!). They are huge, but Kate loves them. The small book to the right is the book Kate gets from preschool each week to read (she gets a new one each week) and they are tiny. But I thought it would give some comparison to how big these new books are.

Preston being goofy. When I say "cheese" he does this. I guess it works since it's cheesy. :)

Eating graham crackers. He sits in a booster chair and when he is hungry he'll go sit in it even before the food is even ready (or even made).

I braved the crowds and went to the movie New Moon on Saturday afternoon with some friends. It was so much fun to go with friends. We could make fun of the cheesy parts and still enjoy it. I actually liked the show. I am not a huge crazy fan. I know plenty of people who are, but really I'm not. I don't even remember what happens in each book. I have to ask b/c I forgot so much. But we all liked it. They had much better effects and you could tell they had more money to make this film.

We got our Honda back on Friday. Yea! Last week was supposed to be a slow week, but ended up being kind of busy. But we managed. It's nice to have a 2nd car again especially since this week I'm working 3 days before Thanksgiving. My parents were in town for a couple days this week because my Dad is on the School Board and he had a convention in Seattle. We met up with them for dinner in Seattle one night. Then, my Mom and I met up for lunch during my lunch break the other day. She also visited the kids at home with Kyle and the kids loved that.

Today was our Primary Program and this is the first time in 3 yrs that I haven't had to write it or do anything for it! It was really nice. :) Once the kids started singing the first song I got teary eyed b/c I missed working with them and I could feel their Spirit when they sang. I also knew all the songs since I was in there for half the year. Kate did a good job with her part. She kind of got a little shy once she got up there (so unlike her!), but she did a great job. And of course, she was waving to us in the crowd at the beginning. It was funny. Preston was saying "dete, dete" (kate, kate) when he saw her up there.
