Wow, it's been awhile and really no good reason. We're just busy living. I picked a couple of silly pictures to put on today. In November, when Chase had parent/teacher conference they made these paper mache heads. Then they took clothes to school and posed it at their desk, so when you walked in, it looked like they were all there. He had been really excited about this and even took shoes and gloves to complete his faux self. This pict is from the day he brought home his head. He put it in his shirt like this during dinner. It was pretty funny. The head is still around somewhere. Whenever we get irritated with Chase, we just kick the head instead of taking it out on him. J.K. Miss Katie here loves to play with blocks and builds things quite regularly. I was commanded to take this picture so we could always remember her tower. We have also spent some time going to a singing concert (in which Kenna, our diva, wouldn't sing a word go figure), attended a couple of Utah State Basketball games (I love it!!) and gotten a bit of Christmas shopping done. Mike has been eyeing this pillow at the My Comfort store. It was kind-of expensive, but he really liked it and since he has been on a quest for the perfect pillow, I decided to get it for him for Christmas. I was driving into Logan to buy it on Thursday and called him to see how his day was going. He was so excited. The manager of the My Comfort store had just called to tell him he had won their monthly drawing for a free pillow. Can you believe it? I'm glad he won, but now I am 10 days to Christmas with no gift!!

Love the mask! I would have liked to see the whole classroom full of fake kids. I'll bet they were funny.
Tell Kate her tower rocks. I wish I had some blocks to build with. I'll just have to come again and play with yours.
Now... a present for the hubby..... hmmmm. (I'm just jealous, as I've never won anything) If only there were gift certificates for garage sales!! Good luck!
Glad to see your post.

Glad to see you're back! I think I would like a class of paper mache headed kids. At least one day a week would be fine with me. I'm sure he had a blast getting ready for that. Kate's tower is pretty nifty - maybe she'll grow up to be an architect?!?
The pillow sounds marvy. Chuck often goes on a quest for the perfect pillow and we will come home with 2 or 3 that he beats and pummels until the next time. Maybe an unusual pillow case for said pillow?
I loved your picture christmas card. Your family is growing by leaps and bounds. Bet your dad took that pic eh?

Spencer made a similar paper mache mask one year but his was a reindeer head. We have a picture somewhere of him wearing it. I can imagine how hilarious it would be to walk in a classroom of kids looking like that. Fun memories all the way around.
