One room mom did a really cute treat idea with ice cream cones/candy – they are “cornucopia’s” = waffle ice cream cones filled with candy corn/etc. The other cute thing a mom did was this turkey made out of fruit/vegetables.

In Myla’s 2nd grade class her teacher does this project all year long called “Traveling Tales,” and each kid gets a turn about 3-4 times through-out the year to make one.

Kiana’s class has been studying Native Americans this past month and on Friday the entire unit came to a close with a final “Indian Day” filled with songs, reports, art projects, and other activities. I went to school and had lunch with the girls then volunteered to help with the projects in the afternoon. I took supplies to make leather necklaces with the kids. Kiana and I are matching in our Uggs trying to look like Indians….

KJ’s preschool class went on a field trip today to pumpkinland. It was a beautiful fall day, perfect weather. KJ allowed me to go along with him, and he even insisted I hold his hand nearly the entire time there. I love my boy!

to MOUNT TIMPANOGOS CAVES! Yes, Dusty did make it home for the 9am departure. We want to thank Kiana for allowing us to both go chaperone her trip! The leaves are changing colors, and the canyon was absolutely beautiful, it was a little chilly but actually great weather for the hike – it was hard to narrow it down, but here’s our favorite pics…Dusty leading the group up the trail ~ our friends who were also in our tour group ~ Kiana and I viewing that stalagmites…As the legend believes – this is the heart of Timpanogos caves ~On our way back down.
