Eleven on Sunday

1. Last week on Sunday I was able to attend Relief Society since I only had one student in Primary. I was able to get away for third hour. It is always nice to be feed by the spirit and actual participate in an adult dialogue. I have been in the Primary for the past 6 years.

2. This year trick of treating was amazing with Savannah. I took a 1/2 day off from work. The babysitters family taught her how to say trick of treat and Savannah said it the entire car ride home and was so adorable doing it all by herself. We stopped off at the local Walgreen's to pick up some Halloween candy on the way home. While I was at the checkout line she walked over to the M&M display and picked up a package of candy and placed it in her Halloween bucket and came back over and said "Look mommy". I had to quickly turn around and put the candy back and apologize to the store clerk for her behavior. She didn't know any better and I had to give her "THE" talk about stealing as we walked out of the store.

3. We arrived home and Frank dressed up Savannah in her costume and we went around the neighborhood for about an hour and than came back home. Trick of Treating wasn't too successful. I had received an invite to go back over to the baysitters house to go with them so Frank stayed behind to hand out candy and we went to a much better neighborhood.

4. I was so excited about Halloween I forgot to feed Savannah any dinner and she ended up eating a popcorn ball and banana while we were outside. We picked up a few neighborhood friends and walked around a couple of blocks. I pushed Savannah around in the stroller because of all the walking. She was so cute she kept saying Trick of Treat to get the people to come to the door. She really had a great time doing it and caught on real fast. Thank you Auntie Lara for making the Ghost costume!

5. Frankie dressed up as a bunny this year (don't ask) and went to a few houses. His was mostly hanging out with friends the whole night. He managed to lose his candy by the end of the night.

6. Sarah came over this weekend and we picked her up late from the HS. She went to the Chicago Art Institute and came home around 5pm and them had a drama practice.

7. Frank had a friends and family potluck lunch on Saturday. We all didn't have a large turn out so we ended up not singing karoke. Just visited and played some video games.

8. I had an opportunity to go scrapbooking with work afterwards for a few hours. We used the lunchroom at work and had leftovers from Fridays catered lunch. I was rushing through and finished 12 pages. I just need to add my pages into a new album.

9. I came home to the cops parked right outside my house. It turns out that Sarah butt dialed 911 while she was rollerblading outside. She actually dialed 0 + 8 and that sent a signal to the authorities. It tracked the signal to a cellphone right in front of our house and stopped by to verify whether of not she did in fact call the police. All they police heard was heavy breathing in the phone and thought someone was in danger. I saw them interviewing my neighbor. I hope they don't think we are a trouble making family.

10. It's official I won the contest we were having at work last month. It was a very close race and I barely won against my competitor. I going to try to win again this month since the metric those chose this month is one of my strengths at work.

11. I will be switching babysitters real soon since my current babysitter may be taking a full time position at her second job. I will have my friend start watching her for me during the week. I will be sad to see her go!
