Ward Party

Count Kolby and Mallorie the bride - My Mom sewed Mal's dress. It's hard to see the details because she wore a long-sleeved shirt under it, but it was really pretty.



This year we had a total of six kids at the party. I was watching three extras for a friend who went to UT, and also Ryan, from across the street. They were all very good and had a great time. I thought they all looked very cute as well. After they went down the line of cars at the Trunk-Or-Treat 4 or 5 times, we went home read Halloween stories and watched a Halloween cartoon. It was a fun night.

Spirit Week

This week at school was spirit week. Kolby and Mal had lots of fun dressing up like rock-stars and wounded kids for fake an injury day. I didn't get a picture of them on rock-star day, but I did Kolby's hair in a faux hawk. It looked so cool, and I really wish that I had taken a picture of it. Mallorie was Hannah Montana. Kolby had already taken off his bandages by the time he got home from school on injury day, so I didn't get a picture of that either. But, Mallorie kept hers on and didn't want to miss out on an opportunity to pose for the camera. I was busy this week with preparations for Family Fun Night. It was Weds. night along with the Book Fair, and I think it was a success. I did an International Night. We had over 200 people at the school, and it seemed to run very smoothly. I had estimated the right amount of food, except for the horchatas. I think we'll be drinking horchata for the next 50 years and I don't really even like the stuff!! Besides horchatas, we had nachos (Mexico), rice (Japan), and pineapple (Hawaii). I'm glad that it went well, but mostly I'm glad to have it over with.
