Oct 30 - Nov 5

 

Monday, October 30 - For family night tonight we carved pumpkins. The kids had a blast and their pumpkins turned out fun. :)

Tuesday, October 31 - Mom, Simon, and I started the day off at the Halloween Parade at Zack and Ricki's school. So fun! :) This afternoon, I came back to the school to put on Ricki's class party. It turned out really fun!! I let Mrs. Lofgren keep the Quidditch game. It will go really cute in her room. Tonight, we went as a family to the Losee's backyard Halloween party (it's an annual tradition) then the kids took off on their own to trick-or-treat around the neighborhood. Kendra met up with this cute boy, Bridger, and they went around with Ricki together. It was a fun holiday today!

Wednesday, November 1 - It's that magical time of year again...GIRL'S TRIP!!! Yay! We got on the road just after 1:00 and made a quick stop at Lehi Bakery (tradition!). When we got into town, we quickly unloaded at the house then went to dinner at Paula's Mexican Restaurant. We have our annual tag exchange coming up so we spent the evening visiting, watching Friends, and working on our tags.

Thursday, November 2 - The St. George temple has been under construction for about two years and they are now doing an open house prior to the dedication. We were lucky enough to get to go through it and it is amazing! Marisa was also in St. George for a swim meet so we met up with her and went shopping together for a few hours. After Jeremy picked her up, we went to linner at Olive Garden then went back, got in the hot tub for a while, then worked on tags for our upcoming tag exchange.

Friday, November 3 - The beautiful Red Cliffs Temple is almost done and the open house will happen in just a few months. We went to check it out and walked around as much of it as we could. It is gorgeous! We stopped at the yummy Morty's Cafe for dinner before heading back to the house. I did mom and Jenni's toenails and then my own fingernails.

Saturday, November 4 - We got up early to go yard-saling but that was a bust so we went out to the Tuacahn Saturday Market. That was fun but my head was killing me and getting worse by the minute. I finally had to go back to the house and take a nap. That helped. Once I was up and functioning again, we went to The Pizza Factory for dinner then back to the house to document our haul.

Sunday, November 5 - Yay for daylight savings time that gave us an extra hour of sleep! We started laundry first thing, went to breakfast at Bishop's, cleaned the house, then stopped at Pink Box on the way out of town. We left way later than normal. We got on the freeway around 3:00 and didn't get home until about 7:30! What a fun and memorable Girl's Trip! Can't wait for next year!
