Halloween at the Pony

So as everyone knows, today is Halloween. Wow. I have got one big headache! I have to say though, I love Halloween even though it is a crazy day and the kids are completely out of control. I love seeing how excited the kids are over the silliest little things and my favorite comment is always, "I couldn't even sleep last night I was so excited!" Oh to be seven again! My kids this year are sooo darling and my room moms had a great party. I am so lucky because I have cute Bea Twede this year and at one of the stations she had the kids put their names on a cute Thanksgiving apron. I love things that help me remember the kids. I don't know how I got so lucky this year with moms and students! This year I dressed up as Gooney Bird Greene from the book "Gooney Bird Greene". No one knew who I was except the second graders, but that's all that counts right??

ChemE Car

Okay, so this isn't really Jeff's chemE car, but you get the idea. Jeff has been working with the U of U team since last year. Last year he helped design and build their car. They won first place at the regional competition in AZ last spring. Now he is in charge of heading up the National competition at the U next week. Because he has been in charge he can't help prepare their car. He has been rethinking heading it up because he would much rather be prepping the car. He has been so stressed with classes, the competition, and all his job interviews. We hardly see each other anymore. I know he's excited for the competition to be over, but I think I am even more excited because I want my husband back!!!

Santa Barbara Zoo

While in California we went with my sister to the Santa Barbara zoo. It is the greatest zoo because the temperature is perfect year round and it is always beautiful--you can see the ocean from places in the zoo. We love it. They have famous giraffe with a crooked neck, but really we were just having fun watching my sister talk about all the animals. It's a lot more fun when kids come!

Going to California!!

Okay, okay, I know we have been out of the blogging world for awhile. To be honest we are pretty boring! I guess once all of Jeff's job interviews are over and we know what we are doing next year we will be a little more exciting. Anyway, this last weekend was fall break and my dad was passing through on his way back home from an audit in Wyoming. We decided to hitch a ride with him and keep him company since he had to head back to Wyoming again the next week. On the ride home I got a little bored in the back seat so I had some fun with my computer. Jeff couldn't figure out why I thought I was so funny entertaining myself in the back seat!
