The week of Crazy hair day

Crazy hair day at school was on Friday.  Mara had been talking about it all week- trying to decide how to do her hair for the big day. She finally decided on having 13 big curls just like a character from her new favorite books- Judy Moody.  Wyatt and Audrey also decided to have crazy hair that day too.  It was also a free dress day at school (she normally has a uniform) the kids decided to wear Halloween inspired clothing and Dre joined in too.

Friday we headed up to the petting zoo at Bonnie Springs with some friends to see some animals and enjoy the cool weather.  It was so fun and funny- Liz got attacked by a crazy dear and llama wasn't any better.  Some of the kids were terrified of the strange animals that they had there, but over all it was great.  Found out they do pony rides for $7.50- so I may have to take Mara up there soon.

Thursday we went to Blue Diamond twice- once to go visiting teaching to one of my favorite people of all time-  Barbara- I just LOVE that lady!  Then we headed back up there after school to go to the library and the park- this will be a new weekly thing for us.

We picked up several chapter books and thought they would last Mara a week or so, but no.  She was done by 8 am this morning with ALL of the books we got.  We had to borrow some from my visiting teacher's daughter (one of Mara's good friends) so she would have something to read today.  She reads so fast I just don't know what to do with her.  If anyone has any good book suggestions for her-PLEASE let me know!

Women's conference yesterday was fantastic!  I can't wait to read the talks once they come in the Ensign.  It was also nice not putting the kids to bed and having adult conversations with other women.  I can't wait for conference next weekend!
