October

We have had a fun month.  Here are some pictures of what I've been up to.  I would say "we've" but then I realized that Josh has been studying or working, so I've done these things by myself, with Josh's support.

Halloween party with some friends from the ward. (One of the husbands was complaining that we always only have pictures of just the women, which is true, but I just don't feel like the guys ever want to get together to take a picture, so too bad for them...) 

Also, I already love going to Joann's and finding fabric, but I love it even more when they have sales and fabric is 50% off- I mean it really is amazing!  I made these two purses this week and have been having so much fun!  I got the design for the first one from this blog, the second one is a pattern I made up- I'm not totally in love with it, but I may tweak things a bit so it looks better. Let me know what you think!

Parent Weekend

My parents came up to Denver to visit for the weekend.  We didn't take a lot of pictures, but we had fun.  I am excited to get everyone together in November for Conner's farewell.  I love family!

My typical work conversation

Convo #1
J: You look really old.
Me:  Oh yeah...
J: Yeah, you look like 13!
Me: Wow, that's old.

Convo #2
B:  You have a broken nose.
Me: I'm pretty sure I don't.
B: I'm pretty sure you do, it's messed up.
Me: Ok, thanks.

Convo #3
B: You're a white girl.
Me: yup
B: I'm a black boy.
Me: true (then I just started to laugh)

I'm never quite sure how these conversations start.   #1 was when we were building with blocks, # 2 was when he was waiting in line to get his picture taken, and then again a week later during reading time (I have never broken my nose and according to Josh it doesn't look broken), and #3 was when he was washing his hands before snack time.

Oh how I love working with 4 year olds.
