Is it Friday yet?

I am sitting here at work...obviously not busy because I am on here. I am so bored I have a million and one things I could be doing at home. The upside is I am getting paid to sit here and blog. There could be worse things I guess. The girls have been pretty good this week hence no blogs this week. I am sure there are little things that they have done that would entertain those of you out there reading this, but I can not think of anything off the top of my head.

My Dad and Teresa are coming this weekend. Jeff is entering a chili cook-off at the Elks this weekend and we are planning a trip to Zion National Park this weekend. I will post pictures as I take them...if I remember to take any.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Cookie Monster Vs. Count Von Count

Grace had this sent home yesterday from school. I thought it was cute and it got the kids thinking and them thinking they were involved in some sort of voting.

We are doing a fun activity called, "your Vote Counts." We are in need of a new (imaginary) classroom helper. Cookie Monster and The Count both want the job. We can only choose one, so your child will need to vote tomorrow (election Day) on which one would do the best job.

Cookie Monster's promise is "Acookie for every kid!" He intends to deal with problems and difficult work by handing out cookies to those in need of help.

The Count says, "you can count on me!" He promises to help children think about how to solve problems, and to teach them how to find the right answers.

It will be interesting to find out how the children voted...considering we live in Utah I am sure if the parents had any say to it, it will be The count. I will keep you posted

By the way...Grace voted for the Count.
