Life Lessons

I've heard lots of stories of people dropping their cell phones in toilets and I've always wondered how that could possibly happen. I found out the hard way a couple of days ago at school. My cell phone was in the front pocket of my scrub top and as I was straightening my top my cell phone fell out of the pocket and plopped right in the toilet. Being the quick thinker that I am I just stood there looking at it wondering what I should do - was there something I could use to get it out, did I have enough time to run and get a glove, should I just leave it there...luckily one of my friends was in the stall next to me to offer advice.

Me: Tina! I just dropped my cell phone in the toilet, what should I do?!

Tina: Hurry and grab it

Me: But I peed in the toilet....

Tina: Hurry before it flushes!!

So I grabbed it. I was laughing hysterically at this point and lucky for me Tina had been in this situation before so she knew what to do. After we washed it off she took the phone apart and helped me dry it under the hand dryer. Then she told me to wait 24 hours, put the phone back together and it should work fine. She was right, it works great! And now I know what to do if it ever happens again, another valuable life lesson learned.

Halloween

The boys had so much fun on Halloween. I was a little worried about their costumes being dorky because I of course waited until the last minute to get them and everything was picked over, but they actually turned out pretty cute. We only took them trick-or-treating to about 6 houses but it still took us forever. They were just so interested in all of the other kids and all of the decorations everyone had out that I would have to drag them on to the next house. It is so fun to see things through the eyes of two year olds, they are so excited about the smallest things. I think their favorite thing of the night was handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters that came to the door. For a couple of days after Halloween every time the doorbell rang they would run to the door thinking it was more trick-or-treaters.

We also had our annual cookie decorating night with Grandma Joy, Jessica, Issac, and Jen at my mom's house. It was a lot of fun hanging out with everyone and the boys had a great time.
