Halloween

Since Halloween was on a Saturday this year we were able to our family in Salt Lake. We went to my parents first and had lunch. Then we went to both of my grandparents' houses. Then we went back up to Clinton to go trick or treating with Tim & Christine's kids. Our kids had fun. Savannah was so cute. She would jump up and down in between each house because she was so excited about trick or treating.

Sydney's Halloween Parade

Sydney had her Halloween parade at preschool where they presented each child, and said something as their character. Sydney said, "Just a little bit of pixie dust." They danced to the monster mash later and Sydney was adorable. You'll have to ask her to do the Monster Mash for you sometime. It's a hoot!








FHE: Pumpkins

For Family Home Evening we let the kids paint little pumpkins. I didn't want paint all over their clothes so they ended up in their diapers/underwear. (I need to buy them smocks for things like this.) It's a good thing because Savannah had paint all over her body. Bob later carved a pumpkin of his own.

We are at the MMR (Aug)

Every August my mom's family has a reunion in the Uintas for 5 days where we just have fun with each otherplaying games and being silly. (It's called the MMR after my poppy's initials- Matthew Marrington Pettersson.)





















C is for...

I was trying to be a good mom and teach my kids letters. This day we found things that started with the letter C. The girls made castles and cookies.

Primary Activity (Aug)

Our primary had an activity where we meet down at the Salt Lake Temple and had a tour of the temple grounds.
We took the front runner with our friends the Stevens down to Salt Lake. This was the first time our kids have been on a train.

State Fair in Sept.

We took the kids to the State Fair in September and spent way too much money.








Tree House Museum

Well, I'm going to be catching up on the last 6 months by starting from the most recent. At the beginning of October we went to the Tree House museum and went to their story book treat or treating where the kids go to different story book characters and they tell them their story and give them something relating to that. Well I lost the battery for my camera at that point of the outing, but got some pictures before that of the kids playing with the normal stuff at the Museum. I found my battery in car after the whole storybook stuff so that's why you have pictures of the kids in their costumes with their bags.

I messed up 42% of my teenage life

As a teenager, I....
[x] Kissed someone before dating (yes, I just barely met him, but ended up dating him.)
[ ] Had a phone taken away at school (It was very rare for kids to have cell phones in my day.)
[x] Got caught chewing gum
[ ] Got caught cheating on a test
Total so far: 2

[x] Arrived late to class more than 5 times (I'm sure I was since that's a 5 year span)
[ ] Didn't do homework over 5 times
[ ] Turned at least 2 projects in late
[x] Missed school just because you felt like it
[ ] Laughed so loud you got kicked out of class (My teacher threatened to kick me out of class my Junior year in Algebra II, but I never actually got kicked out of class unless you count Sunday school. hehe)
Total so far: 4

[] Got your mom, dad, etc. to get you out of school
[] Text people during class (Again, didn't exist yet.)
[x] Passed notes
[ ] Threw stuff across the room
[x] Laughed at the teacher (not to his face)
Total so far: 6

[] Took pictures during school hours
[ ] Called someone during school hours (I didn't have a phone to call anybody on)
[ ] Listened to iPod ,CD, etc during school hours (iPods didnt' exist back then. MP3s were just starting to kick in.)
Total so far: 6

[ ] Threw something at the teacher
[x] Went outside the classroom without permission(Once to throw up. I had an awful migraine but I don't think the teacher minded)
[x] Broke the dress code (I was wearing a spaghetti strap shirt with a jacket over it and had taken off the jacket before going into the hall to get a drink, and the hall monitor caught me.)
[ ] Failed a class
[x] Ate food during class
Total so far: 9

[ ] Gotten a bad call from school
[ ] Been called the worst student
[ ] Punished on a school trip because you behaved badly(no but I was in the same room with girls that allowed boys in our room without an adult. The boys fell asleep and ran out of the room early in the morning. They were put on probation, but the 2 other girls and I that had nothing to do with it didn't get punished.)
[x] Didn't take your stuff to school
[ ] Given a teacher the finger when they weren't looking
Total so far: 10

[x ]Faked your parents signature (My friend Amanda would forge a signature for me all the time. Her handwriting looked like an adult's. We sloughed all the time and never got caught.)
[x] Slept in class (probably multiple times but the one I remember was when my History teacher woke me up by saying"wake up sleeping beauty")
[ ] Cursed at your teacher behind their back
[x] Copied homework (I'm not proud of this)
[x ] Got in trouble with the principal/vice principal(this was for a lame reason in Junior High. I crossed some sort of line outside at lunch. I guess this was because Junior High students were not allowed to leave for lunch.)
[ ] Thrown food in the lunch room
total so far: 14

Multiply by 3
Post as "i messed up --% of my teenage life"

Tag 10 people, they have to do it too. I don't ever do these tags but I thought it was funny.
