scorpion hunting and autumn

from my little Sheriff in class during our lunch together (he was the king)


"what's your favorite activity?"


"well, this may sound crazy, but it's scorpion hunting!!!!!! it's awesoooome!!"


{see here}


this is the same kid that wrote on his thank you card to erin (because they both had the same birthday and he was absolutely ecstatic about that, especially when erin said she loved cookies and he said "me too!" so erin said "yes! we can have a cookie birthday party!")


his card to erin said (amongst other things): [boy's name] (me) due Jan. 23. Erin (you) due Jan. 23.  cooooooooookies!!




tomorrow i will have a substitute. literacy training for me. woo hoo.


the kids will be working on a little fall activity for their favorite things about fall.

here are my autumn top 10 favorites:


1.  cooler weather (but not snowy or unbearable)
2.  crisp, fresh air.
3.  crunchy leaves covering the ground.
4.  color! love love love the colors of the leaves all over the mountains (and ground).
5.  boots [and tights]. boots with skirts, boots with dresses, boots with jeans.
6.  General Conference.
7.  BIRTHDAY!!!
8.  THANKSGIVING!!!! which means...
