Halloween Fun

Hello everyone!
Here's us dressed up for our ward chili dinner and trunk or treating last night.

Clint Eastwood (aka Duane)

Andrea's one of the
Tron characters
Kim (Queen of Something)

My visiting teachers brought this to
me.......................

Andrea and Dallas went to the temple Wednesday.

Tomorrow is our school's celebration of Halloween so I have a pretty regimented day scheduled so the kids don't get into too much mischief! Party's at the end of the day so they can get "sugared up" and then go home!

Have a terrific week!

FALL BREAK

Aahhh........the sound of that word - "break". It could have any other word before it and it sounds like a piece of heaven! Fall break........spring break...........Christmas break.............lunch break..........you name it - it's a slight reprieve from the norm! I'll take it!

Our fall break is in the form of a 4-day weekend, EXCEPT, we had to attend an inservice Friday so even though the students have 4 days off, teachers have 3 days off. I guess we'll take whatever we can! Don't get me wrong! I love my job, the kids are great, we all have these trials and tribs in our classrooms, but oohhhhh......the breaks are welcome! Especially after a week of getting report cards ready for 33 students - not an easy task but one I like to kick back and say "YES!" when it's done! I still get to stay up late watching a movie or two and sleep in in the morning. (yeah right! My eyes flick open around 6 anyway, even if I don't have to go to work!)

We had stake conference today in which Elder Golden and Elder Leseuer of the Seventys were in attendance to reorganize our stake presidency. What a great meeting! The three brethren who were released have done a phenomenal job at leading the saints in our stake. They will be missed and the three new presidency members, President Williams, President VanWinkle, and President Crandell will be wonderful as well. I know both counselors fairly well but not the new President. He's an attorney in the area and somewhat new to the mountain, been here 4 or 5 years. He's young and has a young family. Seems like the stake presidents are getting younger and younger!

After conference, Duane and I took the teens and drove out to Hawley Lake to view the changing colors brought in by autumn. We were not disappointed! Some areas looked like pictures from Arizona Highways, for those of you who even remember that magazine! It took about 40

minutes to get there and was well worth the drive!

HAVE A MARVELOUS WEEK!!!!!
