just posting to post...

Hey, it's been awhile since I have posted... Just wanted to tell everyone about our weekend and week this week. After a long week teaching, we rushed up to Cody on Friday for Maddie's piano recital. It was cold, but wonderful. Maddie played Skeleton Stomp and Lady Brittany's Ballad. We came home and went to the craft fair in Burlington and International Dinner fundraiser put on by the cheerleaders to raise money for their uniforms. It was fun.
Saturday, Ryan and I took McKay to the temple. We had to leave at 5:45am and thought we would be late, but we were on time. We spent the rest of the day shopping and eating and having a fun time. Tuesday is the day of my two recitals. There usually are about 100 people that attend each one, so I am trying to start the baking and cooking. Why did I start that tradition? I need to do the programs for each and spend the day Tuesday, setting up chairs and tables, and decorating the whole gym for this event. Wednesday, some of us are going to have a girls night out, (no piano, yahoo!!) and go see Twilight. That should be fun, and then start baking when I get home for Thanksgiving. Mom and Dad are coming to dinner and I invited a piano student and her mom, so they wouldn't have to cook a big dinner for just themselves. I told Ryan, sorry, I know we are Olsons' but I invited some people for dinner. He was really nice about it. I hope they know that I really want a nap after we are done eating. My mom and dad know that if they come to dinner on Sunday. I just go upstairs and don't visit, sometimes they stay and visit with the kids and sometimes they are gone when I wake up. Oops. And then, the best time of the year. We will put up our Christmas on Thursday and then wake up at the crack of dawn and go shopping. I can't wait. What a fun week we get to have !
