SUNDAY READ-A-THON
We had our first Sunday Read-a-thon this Sunday! I think the only thing that didn't go well was I didn't get enough treats- HA!! Other than that, it was awesome and the kids seemed to love it! It was fun to use Noah's idea. So everyone got comfy on the couch and read their scriptures for a couple hours and ate a few treats. Not as many treats as they had wanted. We're hoping to make this a new tradition every third Sunday! 11-19-17
CUBSCOUTS
We got a new cub commissioner and a new cubmaster this week. I can't say I'm excited to train them now, but they seem anxious to get started and I think they will do a good job. I was able to meet with both of them this week. We'll see how it all goes. 11-20-17
FRIENDSHIP FEAST
Jami, another mom and I got to help out with the Friendship Feast in Jack's class this week. That was a lot of fun! Everyone just brings a bunch of snacks to share and the kids get to treat it like a buffet and eat whatever they want :). It was so cute to see how the kids acted about it and I loved that Jack actually ate something other than skittles :). 11-21-17
TITHING SETTLEMENT/ERIKA'S INTERVIEW
We got a two-fer this week. We went in for Tithing Settlement, that was exciting :). Everyone loves the attention the Bishop gives them and everyone participated pretty well and answered his questions. It's been interesting with our new money system to keep track of tithing- I think we need to revamp it a little. I'm not sure how. But everyone has done so well this year and we did get all caught up on the ones we had lingering on the white board. Then everyone left the room so that Erika could have her Baptism Interview. That was a sweet little visit. She is such a smart girl and was so good at giving him her attention and eye contact. He even mentioned that she was so good at looking him in the eye. Very cool. Glad my little pep talk helped :). She knew what she was getting into and was excited about it and I think she's one of the more ready kids I've seen to get baptized. We are all getting very anxious and excited for her big day!!! 11-21-17
WHITE FRIDAY
Grandma started this tradition to go to the temple and do baptisms on Black Friday and call it White Friday :). This was the third year I think and ended up being just us going to the Bountiful temple without Grandma, but glad we could carry on the tradition. Nate, Charity, Kelly, Bradley and I all went together. It was such a nice time! Quick, because the temple was completely empty! But very awesome. We loved it. And we did our own names! Names that I found myself! Pretty awesome. 11-24-17
WONDER
On Friday we went back up to Grandma's and took her to see Wonder with us! What a cute movie! I LOVED it the first time and knew the kids would like it, but that turned out to be an understatement. They loved it too! Such a cute message and feeling. I want to read the book now. We went to Red Robin with Grandma after the movie. Lots of fun there :). The slippery floor is probably the most memorable part. Good times. 11-24-17
