Utahn Update!!

So I know I said I'd put up pictures, and it's not my fault they aren't up! Carie's computer is really really slow! It's torture! So I'm trying again this time and hopefully it works out.

Now for my 'party harty' update: for the past few days, I've been waking up early and....going back to school :S dun-dun-duuuuuuh! Well actually it hasn't been bad. I went every morning with Carie to volunteer in Sarah's Kindergarten class since her teacher recently had surgery on her leg. Being the stupidly, overexited person I am, I volunteered to run the station where the kids got to make little things out of toothpicks and marshmallows. If that wasn't bad enough, I made the effort to learn all of their names and talk to every Kindergartener in the class...and I couldn't say 'no' or get stern with a single one of them. Lets just say I made lots of friends in that class.....LOTS of friends. They were hanging all over me, asking me to play with them, and before I knew it I was elected Mama Lion and I had half a dozen girls all growling and whining and wimpering being my baby lions. You know girls and their crazy games :] They were all adorable and sweet and being called 'Mama' and expecting to respond took some getting used to, but I had loads of fun...and I slept very soundly the past few nights. Hahaha. So after being with Kindergarteners, I decided I wanted to kick it with the older kids, so I volunteered in Jacob's class to help out with the 5th Graders Field Day. That was really fun! They were all energetic and competitive, like kids should be. And having the same goal as the Kindergarten class, I made an effort to talk to everyone and learn their names. I made lots more new friends, and no one called me 'Mama' :]

Another fun part of being somewhere where you don't know anyone, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT AND IT DOESN'T MATTER! It doesn't matter what any cocky little kids say because chances are you're never gonna see them again, so I got to be crazy! A band came the second to last day of school, so I hung out with the fifth graders during it because, come on, Kindergarteners and alternative rock? There are so many things wrong with just that sentence. While I was sitting with them, they all whispered about standing up or cheering loudly or doing something bold, but they never really did it, until I would. I was one of the only ones standing up, and absolutely the only one swinging my hair around, jumping up and down, screaming I loved the drum player. Oh yah, it was pretty bomb. Then there was this one kid who was standing up and he just stood up and shook his head and hair as if he was trying to give himself brain damage; and man that kid just kept goin' and goin'. He could shake it like a polaroid picture! FOREVER! Alot of the kids around me were pointing and laughing and making comments about him and how ridiculous he looked, so I went up next to him and tried to match his level of....uhh....shakingness. He stopped and grinned at me, and then upped it up a knotch! Who knew it could go even higher?! That was a blast, and then three more kids joined our crazy dancing party. I think the way we danced is what my mom would call the 'rabid weasel.' "Hey mom, wanna dance?" hahaha, you remember that? Good times. I really need to find some fiends up here that aren't fifth graders or kindergarteners

Well I think I covered everything :] thanks or caring enough to read. And thanks for the comments. I'd add you guys, but I don't know how, which makes it kind of difficult lol. Thanks for the offer to drive me Diane! That was so nice and unexpected, but I don't think we'll be able to get me down until next Thursday like we originally planned. And Tamy, how many people did my dad tell that story? Hahahaha ~~Carpe Diem!~~
