Snow Showers and Baby Showers

Hola, Familia!

SNOW DAY. A kind of weird week...we got about 8 inches of snow on Tuesday, but at the end it rained instead of snowed, so then it froze just on top. The timing of the storm was such that they cancelled school the evening before, even though it wasn't supposed to start until about 10 a.m. the next morning. Middle-of-the-week snowdays throw me off completely. Every day for the rest of the week I'm saying "WHAT day is it, again??"

COOKIE FEST. Kara's class (of 2018) started selling cookies for a fundraiser for Prom. They told them about it in the class meeting on Thursday...so Kara made 240 sugar cookies on Wednesday, frosted, with "2018" on them. Yes, every single surface in the kitchen had a sugar cookie on it! And then transporting them...THAT was an exercise in creativity :) It was a team effort and all 3 of us (Frank, myself and Kara) put in some time there.

After using the frosting bag for that many cookies,
she started her homework: "I can't even write!"

RETRO 50's BABY SHOWER. This morning I went to a baby shower with a 'retro' theme.

Very cute, with people dressing up as 1950's housewives. We also gave the mom (it's her 3rd baby) bad/funny advice that might have come from that era: "Don't forget to wear high heels when you vacuum or dust!" "If you don't breast feed, your child won't go to college!"

It was a fun morning and those particular women go all out for these gatherings, so it was a scrumptious spread. If I can get these photos off my phone, I'll include them.

TERESA's MISSION CALL. Still waiting, ha! The status online has moved to the next level of "to be assigned." That is all I know.

I think that covers the week! Can't wait to see when the magic day is, for Rachelle's (our niece, Kim's daughter) baby to come. Frank's bday was the 3rd, so too late to have the baby then. Kara's bday is this Tuesday, the 21st. Mine the 29th. So I vote either for the 21st or 29th, so we can share our bdays with Rachelle & Shad's new baby :) :) :)

Have a good rest of the weekend, love, Kari

P.S. Teresa went to some Utah national parks and has some awesome pics. I'll put them in next week.
