Quick Weekend Recap

Saturday:

After countless applications over a period of many months, a math test (Big 5), talking to various managers, and finally an interview, Lexee secured employment.  Hallelujah.  You can find her at Bath & Body Works at the mall for the next few months.  I know she will learn a ton and do an awesome job.  Go buy something from her - she starts tomorrow :-)

Saturday evening we had a Trek family reunion.

All of our "children," except for one who was out of town, actually attended.  It was awesome.  We ate pizza, played a game (Curses, which I guess was "super awkward" according to my sources), and watched the DVD Bill and I (with Lex's assistance) put together from the Trek.  It was fun to catch up with them all, and a great opportunity for the kids to interact, since they are from 3 different wards and go to 3 different schools.  The comment by Cheyenne, and later echoed by Lex, "We connected more tonight than we did the whole Trek."  I call that a success.  Unfortunately, I forgot to get pictures of the reunion.  Rats.

Sunday:

Bill had promised Mar that he would help her build a snowman on Saturday, to celebrate the first snow of the season.  But Bill got busy with this and that, Mar left to play with her friends... and at the end of the day, no snow friend had been made.  So after church on Sunday, Bill, Mar and Shi hustled out to round up the lingering snow for their creation.

Then we put up the Halloween decor.  Same as last year, minus those awesome white pumpkins (I'm trying to remember where I got those...).  Here is our only new addition this year:

Yep.  Bloody handprints.  (I tend to like creep over cute... am I weird?)

The only problem is the air bubbles visible from the outside.  So un-authentic.  It might necessitate a move to an interior mirror, unless I am just too lazy (or tired, since I am still feeling under the weather) to care.

Monday (not really the weekend, but closely related):

Our snow friend looks like this (after a few touch-ups including nose and button adjustments by Mar):

Makes me want to sing, "Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman..."
