Humbug Cookies

Humbug Cookies


I got the book, "Humbug," this year & thought it was a really cute story to share with my students. Then on Friday, I saw this great activity on Good Things Utah to go along with it. We're going to try it out in class--maybe it'll become a tradition =)

Conversations

w/ M. Russell Ballard and his wife. Lately, I've been listening to some of the programs on the mormon channel. I really love the way that President Ballard discusses women's insight, wisdom, and goodness, and men's need to listen more =~) This is a good one. Listen HERE.

it's the most wonderful time of the year...

Yesterday, Tracy and I ventured out into the stores for our first taste of the Christmas season. First on the list was Hobby Lobby (heart you HL!) I'm decorating my tree this year in candy canes and gingerbread and other "sweet" attire; Tracy is doing the white, silver, blue motif. We found many "have-to-have" items, but we're going to need to buy in increments. Next we hit up Tai-Pan Trading and I found EVEN MORE giant pieces of candy and swirled green and red ribbon/garland. Choices! I downloaded a Holiday playlist this weekend as well, so I guess it's officially the beginning of the happ-happ-happiest (Griswold family Christmas) ;)!

Went to a retreat here this weekend. Heard Randy Bott speak (amazing!) & enjoyed the beautiful fall scenery.

It wouldn't be Halloween without a haunted house! This was one of the scariest I've been in! So fun.
