Teaching a Class

Last night at 10pm I was thinkin' to myself. I should go to bed. I haven't been to bed at a decent time forever. My house was a disaster from a craft project we were working on for FHE but I figured Oh Well. I need sleep. Then I got a text from my manager Ben asking if I was ready for class tomorrow. Yikes!

I had planned an outline for a preschool-age drama class at work, but I didn't know anyone had signed up. So I hadn't done anything else for it. Last night and this morning I had to whip together enough drama activities to fill 45 minutes with four-year-olds.

The class went great and it was a lot of fun, but I think next week I'll plan a bit ahead of time.

Also.... does anyone wanna guess what odd item I found in my couch cushion? Anyone? Anyone at all. Click here for the answer!

Attack of the Giant Receipt

I went to Robert's Craft tonight and picked up one little item. Look at the gigantic receipt!!! It's totally ridiculous! Seriously. What a waste of paper. You can see... it's almost as long as my couch cushion! And fyi: starting next week you'll actually have to take in your 40% off coupons to get the discount :(

Flour Girls Dough Boys in A.F.

For all of you that live in Utah County, if you haven't tried Flour Girls Dough Boys bakery in American Fork, you MUST try it :) It's by the dollar theater. I've been there three times now and it is fantastic. I've tried several things and they are so yummy. Their lunches are good and their desserts are to DIE for. They're desserts are really inexpensive and giant-sized. They're a lot cheaper than a restaurant and better. Everything is made completely from scratch there. They're like the only place to do that. They have awesome giant cream puffs for $2. I suggest those the first time you go (it's hard to decide because everything looks so good). I also buy their whole wheat rolls. They're $4 a dozen and are really hearty and filling. So... now that I sound like a commercial... Have a nice day everyone!

Voting

So... I've never voted before. I've been registered before, but never actually done it. This year Ken is making sure I vote. I'm curious, What did you all think about the speech Sarah Palin gave last night? I thought she was fabulous. I love that she is a real person, a real mom with values and problems just like the rest of us. I think she would be a wonderful person to have in the white house.

Carson City Today

Here I am at the Nevada State Museum in the ghost town section.

Ken is such a goof-ball!

Aaahhhh....

Caleb is such a dork. He was making scared faces in every picture.

Here they are down in the mine under the museum. It was really cool, but I got VERY claustrophobic.

This morning we went to the State of Nevada museum. It was pretty cool. We didn't have a lot of time to play around today, because we had to head out of town. Plus Ken ended up working last night and all morning on the phone and running in to his office, because it's hurricane season and he does emergency management/communications stuff. He even had to ditch us at the museum for a while while he ran to work. It's frustrating, but obviously there's nothing we can do about it. A group of guys from his office headed to Louisiana today, but he doesn't have to go yet. Maybe soon. He had to help them to get all ready and go.

The ride home seemed very long since it was day-time this time and the kids were all awake. Ken had some cordage type items that worked for my DVD player, so Nina watch Gilligan's Island the whole way home. (I bought the first season on DVD for $15 at Best Buy.) I had to pay $4.69 a gallon for gas in Elko, I about died. I was tempted to just drive to the next town to gas up, but I knew Ken would kill me. I can't even believe that gas is so high. Other than that, the ride home was uneventful.
