Crazy, crazy, crazy

We went to Paris last week! Well, it was actually Paris, Idaho. What a crazy, busy weekend!

But before we get to that, I have to start back on Friday. I helped my friend Jill with her Harry Potter party. She needed another "teacher," mostly to help with crowd control (I think there were 15 kids at the party). So I came as Professor Trelawney. Jill's parties are extremely elaborate and very fun. She made robes, wands, school books, etc for all of the kids. The kids ate dinner in "The Great Hall" and then went to different classes. They earned coins in their classes that they could use to buy all sorts of weird candy at the end. If you know Jill, you will have to check her blog for pictures. And hopefully the ones of me won't be too embarrassing.

On Saturday, we went to Idaho for my niece's baptism. Her name is Kenna. It was nice to spend the afternoon with her family. My boys love playing with their cousins. Here are some pictures:

Wayne and Daniel had tickets to the Jon Schmidt concert in Logan, so we stayed in a hotel in Logan. While they were at the concert, Benjamin and I watched the BYU game. In spite of some defensive errors, it was a pretty awesome game. Daniel LOVED the concert. Daniel plays some of Jon Schmidt's music on the piano, and Daniel loves listening to his cds. After the concert, Daniel got to meet Jon Schmidt and even got his autograph. Pretty cool for him.

We drove home on Sunday. I started feeling sick on Saturday night, and I felt worse on Sunday. Everyone else made it to church, and I think they are all fine. But I still have a sore throat and stuff. I'm pretty sure it's just a cold, but with so many people sick with swine flu in our neighborhood, I'm a little paranoid. We'll see.

In case you didn't know, it's National School Lunch Week. Our elementary school celebrates by letting families come eat lunch with the students any day this week. Benjamin and I went on Monday.  Benjamin thought it was great to eat lunch with the big kids. We had chicken sandwiches, and you know, they really weren't too bad.
