  What is it about a church Trunk-or-Treat that makes everyone attend?  I suppose it's the simplicity of it.  You show up, open your trunk, and hand out candy.  No one needs to be in charge, no sign-up sheets passed around in Relief Society.  Another successful year, right down to the rain that ended it just in time.

  The is pretty close to the time of Shelbi's first Primary sacrament meeting program.  Today was her last.  I remember the Primary president telling me then that Shelbi was the only child to have her part memorized for their program practice.  I knew then that my child was brilliant (just like any warped-minded parent of a first child).  Today Shelbi chose to read her part instead of memorize it.    Totally fine.  She also got to play the flute.  It was a very nice program, but boy am I glad it's done.

  How did you spend your saturday afternoon?  Jeff and I GOT to spend ours at cub scout Spook-a-ree.  It started off with four scouts in our backseat, telling Jeff the closest place to get gas/how to get to the campsite/discussing the disadvantages of using too much deodorant, and ended with Jeff and I covered in dust in places that dust shouldn't be.  The middle was filled with face painting, bathroom breaks, spitting, bouncy houses, pumpkin painting, bathroom breaks, archery, BB guns, and bathroom breaks. 

  Honestly, we have a nice little group of cub scouts.  We were happy to take them and they were sufficiently respectful and grateful.

Tonight's totally healthy delicious snack, apples nachos.  Basically apple slices drizzled with caramel and melted chocolate.

It looks like maybe Bailey's had too many.

  Remember the hail storm that blew through last May?  Well it destroyed everyone's roofs.  This week was our turn to get ours replaced.

   For two BAM straight days BAM BAM I listened to BAM the pounding BAM BAM above me.  BAM BAM BAM Kind of BAM gives you BAM a headache, BAM BAM doesn't it?
