We Were Boxing on Mars...

Friday was quite possibly the LONGEST day ever.  It started out fine.  And months ago when I signed on to do all of the following, it really didn't seem like that much.  I am a bad judge of time.  I knew when I woke up that I had taken on too much.  But guess what, realizing that the morning of is to late.  

I signed on to do a craft for Tayler's class party.  It turned out really cute(you'll have to take my word on that-no pictures).  The party was at the end of the day which equals REALLY crazy 5th graders, actually just really crazy 5th grade boys.  The party and school ended at 3:40.  I gathered 2 of my kids, 2 extra kids, 2 cellos, 1 violin, 2 cupcakes trays and began the hike to my car. When I got home I had about 10 minutes to get Tayler (and 2 friends) hair and make-up done before I had to be at the church. (I am already sweating)

We had our ward Halloween party that night at 5:00.  The Primary was in charge, and seeing as I am the Primary President, that means that I was in charg-ish.  It was a good party.  I had nowhere to go but up, really.  Do you know what I did at the party last year?  You can try to guess.  I don't think you will get it though (except Sheri).  I told a lady TO HER FACE that I did not like the chili she brought.  Of course I didn't know that it was her chili when I opened my big mouth.  But damage done... sure I tried to remove the foot from my mouth.  But then I just looked like a bigger idiot.  So I stopped talking and began my shame spiral.

So, really seeing as I how I didn't offend anyone that I see on a regular basis, I would call the party a success.  

After the party we went trick-or-treating in the neighborhood behind the church.  There is a house that does an awesome haunted house.  And lots of houses give out full size candy bars.  The kids love it.  

We closed out the evening learning a true pearl of knowledge.  I don't know how I have lived this long without it.  A father said to his son..."We are like toilet tissue and toilet tissue roll, we stay together."  Seriously, that made my night.
