Man, I still cannot believe that the month of October has come and gone already! So many great things happened this month that I need to share! We'll see if I can get this all in on one post!
Let's start with some school stuff... at the beginning of the month we celebrated Red Ribbon Week. Now, Tara (my co-worker) and I had been planning to prank our fellow co-worker, Scott, sometime but hadn't found a way to do it yet. Scott graduated from Utah State and rags on BYU ALL the time. We decided that when the time was right, we were going to BYU his room and cover it with all things BYU. Our perfect opportunity occurred with Red Ribbon Week. Each day had a different theme to it and on Wednesday, the theme was something having to do with sports (Wow, it was so long ago that I don't even remember the official theme.) Tara and I decided that we would BYU his room the night before so that he would walk in that morning on Favorite Sports Team day and his room would have BYU all over it. Genius, huh? Well, it turned out that Tara and I had a class we had to go to Tuesday night and we couldn't go back to school afterward. Therefore, to pull off our plan, we decided to be at school at 6:30 the next morning to get the job done. Woo! Here are some of the amazing pictures we took that early, early morning!
Here are some shots of Scott's room. My kids helped me make all of the Y stuff to put around the room. They were pretty stoked about being to help out with a prank. They thought it was the coolest thing EVER!
Tara and I are so proud of our amazing prank! Too bad Scott got us back that same weekend. He took my desk and put it in Tara's room, and took Tara's desk and put it in my room. That was a fun thing to walk in to on a Monday morning! We sure got a work out moving them back to their respective classrooms! Let's just say, we won't be playing anymore pranks on Scott this year....
Here's just a quick, fun thing. So, for Red Ribbon Week they had a crazy hair day. Can we just say that I had the BEST hair ever? It was so hairsprayed that it didn't move an inch the whole day. That was also the day I almost set the school on fire.... so much fun!
Ok, next on the list....
Halloween Fun!
Brett and I dedicated October to a Murder Mystery Game. We had a Nikki night and a Brett night with the people that we invited. I got to invite my old roommates, Lisa and Stacey, and then my good friend Brady. It was entitled Pasta, Passion, and Pistols.... cool, huh? It was an Italian Mafia sort of game and it was a blast. I made dinner for both nights that consisted of tortellini, garlic bread, green and fruit salad, and fruit pizza for dessert. YUM!
Pretty, pretty fruit pizza! Brett told me that it could have been a restaurant. He's funny!
Here's the 2nd crew: Steve Plowman, Ashley Barber, Tiffany, Ben Plowman, Mike and Lisa Lindquist, and Brett and me. Wow, what a fun night that was!
Ok, one last thing before I go, we obviously need to post my Halloween costume picture. I always put off finding a Halloween costume and just decided to go as a "nerd." I've done it before, and knew that I could do it again. It was a crazy day, but it was fun because I (along with many other teachers) performed the Thriller Dance in front of the whole school. Yes, Thriller, dressed as a nerd. My kids told me that I was DEFINITELY the best dancer up there. Aren't they so sweet?
Well, I think that's where we'll leave this never ending post for now. Happy November to you all!
So, here's the 1st crew: Mary and Brady Wilde, Keith and Lisa Jones, Stephen and Stacey White and of course, Brett and Nikki Waite :)
