I went to a Girl's Only Party at my sister-in-law's. It was a lot of fun. We played some silly games and had lots of yummy food and snacks.

I took the kids to see Twilight. Sam was dying to go and seriously thought she might be the last person on the planet to see the movie. We waited in line for an hour, but were only 20 people back so we easily got some good seats next to each other. That's what they were most worried about is having to sit by themselves. They wanted to leave to go wait in line an hour before I actually left. I didn't want to wait that long!!!

Annie and Serejio came over and we played Fluxx and Curses! Game Nights are always a riot!!!

The kids were throughly enjoying the nice weather on their Thanksgiving break. I left and they were all playing flag football.

When I came back, the neighborhood kids were all huddled together and I get out of the car to Landon saying, "Don't touch it! You don't know what kind of diseases it has!" Apparently the neighbors cat had caught a mouse and the kids (not mine) were playing with it. How disgusting, don't they know ....

This was a crazy, busy month for young women's activities. We had our regular once a week activity, and then we had a Stake Evening of Excellence, a laser tag trip and a trip to see Elizabeth's new baby.Sam's Evening of Excellence Display.

Free night of babysitting to get some early Christmas shopping done.

Laser Tag - we played 2 games, the Stake Young Women's President won the first game and I won the 2nd game! Yahoo for me!

Sunday trip to the Payson Hospital.

Leader Lost and Found - this has to be the funniest activity we have done yet. Leaders dress up and the youth try to find them. Once they do they give them a clue to decipher.

Ally thinks that maybe she will want to dance again!

Apparently this is the worst thing for a 7 year old to get on her next birthday! Seriously, that is disgusting!

This is what you might have to talk about to get your child to forget about not wanting to go to school. I think she might be a hypochondriac-in-training. It's always something with her - headache, stomachache, can't find shoes, etc.

I was at the school yesterday leaving after helping in Landon's class and I see Ally in the hall. No, "Hi Mom!" It's "What are you doing here?" I proceed to tell her what I had been doing and that now I was headed home. I ask her what is she doing out in the hall. She is headed out to recess.

She asks, "Will you walk me out?" or at least this is what I heard. I say, "sure, lets go" and I take her hand and head towards the back of the school. As we pass the office door she stops and has that look of "you are going the wrong way".

As it turns out she asked, "Will you CHECK me out?" Too bad her complete elation over the prospect of going home was so short lived.

She's only 7 - I don't know if I can handle 11 more years of this!!!
