No one called from this house.

So the other night Tom and I were sitting talking with his parents who are visiting from Burley, Idaho, when the telephone rings. This is what I heard listening to Tom.

Tom..Hello, Nobody from this house, Uh, just a minute ( he runs and asked Kylie something.) he comes back, I guess it was from our house, I am sorry, I will have a long talk with him. Thank you and I am sorry.

Any guesses? Well apparently it was Firefighter day at school. Eli learned of the importance of Police officers and Fire fighters. Eli and Kylie were sitting in the computer room and Kylie bent Eli's finger and he told her he was going to call 911........well he dialed and hung up quickly, but not quickly enough before the call was tracked. BUSTED! Boy that was a fun talk to have with him.

HELP........

So once again, this year I have been asked to do the dinner for our Ward Christmas party. The menu thus far is Ham and Baked potatoes, and of course rolls. I need your ideas for a good salad and a fun, easy dessert. Last year we had strawberry cheesecake, and believe it our not I saw alot of it go into the garbage, so I am not going to repeat. Also, another bit of information, it is 8 days after Thanksgiving, so no pies or festive jello from Thanksgiving. HELP, all you creative people out there I need your recipes and ideas.

YEAH...it is Fall.

This year we decided to finally make the scarecrow that I have wanted for many, many,many years. So Tom has been secretively researching how to make a scarecrow. He did a GREAT JOB! What do you think? Also, we went to a local pumpkin farm and loved it. It was free to get in, and free to park. The petting zoo was also free. Then to participate in some activities it was a dollar. Kylie and Tyson went into the hay maze and Eli with his one dollar decided to do the corn cob shoot. So we all watched him thinking that he was pointing the shoot too low, but we do we know? Eli made it in the bucket. The guy running it said he was the first of the season to get it in, AND he gets to pick ANY PUMPKIN in the field. WOW! So back to the pumpkin fields ( we had already picked our pumpkins earlier and paid for them. The Rule was if you can't carry it then you can't get it) So it was way too much for Eli to handle, there was 4 fields to choose from and hundreds and hundreds of pumpkins. Well Eli found his favorite pumpkin after a long wait. It was 35 pounds and he loves it. ( I can't wait until he has to clean it out, I don't think it will be as exciting!) WAY TO GO ELI! We are excited for Trick or Treat. This year we are homemaking all our costumes from what we have at home. Tanner is going to be a dog, that is one of his first words. Eli is going to be Mario, and Tyson is Luigi ( and yes I will be making them) and Kylie is going to be an Egyptian Princess. I have always claimed every year that I was dressed up as a mean mommy, but this year I think I am going to revisit the 80's. I can't wait to snarl my hair and color it different colors. But I can't think of what to wear, any suggestions? Maybe Tom will join me, but he really wants a mullet and I don't have the heart to tell him those days were long gone since we started having kids.

You know your day is great when........

Tom and I go to the dentist and we come out with great reviews. You know your day is great when you take your car in to the dealership because of a horrible noise, and it is covered by the warranty! You know your day is going to be great when your husband vacuums the entire downstairs. Thanks Tom! So far it has been a great day.
