"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Shopping
I don't have a picture to prove this. But, Corey has been weightlifting like crazy, taking a weight gainer (so weird,  right) all to have it pay off. He's seen such good results that all but maybe 2 of his shirts were too small. So Kohl's was having a sale, and they had early bird specials which we took advantage of, and we had a 30% off thing. We got Corey like 7 really nice shirts, a sweater, a pair of shoes for me (just cuz, well I really did 'need' a pair of black flats because I didn't have any) and a couple other things. Anyway, we spent $134 and some change and saved $256 and some change. Yeah, that was cool.


Football
We went to the Utah State vs. BYU game in Logan. The one where we totally won. We means Aggies. And nothing else. Ever. That was way fun.


Fall Carnival Primary Activity
Story telling until all the kids got there.
The punch I made. It looked very Halloweenie bubbly slimeish. It was limeade, gingerale, lime sherbet, and, of course, dry ice.
 The cupcakes. Yay for bakeries.
Cupcake eating and Green Ghouly Slime drinking.
 Feeling Frankenstein's body parts. Very gooey.
 Face painting
 Fish pond
 Pumpkin bowling
 Mask coloring

More fun stuff I'm sure will be coming soon  :)
