Last Sunday Katie and I went to game night at the Trophy House. We got there a little late...so we only played Lap Tag. Katie bruised my arms with her "dagger hands." I also ended up with rug burn, a broken toenail, and sprained(?) toe. I don't think it was broken...but maybe it was? Anyway, it was a poor little pinky toe - blue and gross and didn't like to be walked on. I think it's almost better, although I can definitely tell it's not all the way there. BUT it was worth it. So super fun.
Monday and Tuesday nights were full of homework...and I have a feeling Disney movies too. Oh and Tuesday Katie and I went over to the Trophy House to play Just Dance 3. Those people are a bunch of fun :) I felt pretty awesome when I beat some of the best "dancers." That game is great. And so are those boys.
Wednesday...hmm...I can't remember. We probably watched. a movie? I honestly don't know. Our movie collection is quite embarrassing. Except not really. We just like having options :) I think that's the night we watched The Hunchback of Notre Dame. And I wrote some computer assignment while watching it...It was one of my favorites when I was little. I still remember my family teasing me about it when I was little. I would say it one way and they would say it another....and I would correct them the best little Kelly could. "It's Dame!" Yeah...only we would get that I guess.
We also went to free pie night at Village Inn with random neighbors that Shayna had met earlier. Heather was making brownies when they came over...so we turned the oven off and locked our door on our way out. When we got home, we stopped by to talk to Brian and Craig. Sarah and Katie went home while the rest of us stayed a few minutes longer. When we got home, we noticed a brownie sitting on a plate on top of the stove. We pulled them out of the oven (who knows why it didn't click right then) and that piece was cut right out of the middle. We just figured Katie or Sarah really like middle pieces and went about normal life. So we're sitting around...and someone asks who cut the middle piece. We assumed it was Katie since she was sitting there on the chair eating it. No one would admit it. If I had come up with the idea, I think it would have been pretty funny and I would have kept going with it too...so naturally I figured someone was lying - after all the windows were shut and the door was locked. So we go back to I1 and start talking to them...and they broke so fast. Apparently, they originally wanted to take our front door, but decided against it...which was extremely smart of them. So they went to take our oven door...and discovered the pan of brownies inside and decided that was a better idea. Anyway. If they had to do anything I'm glad they did what they did...because I have a feeling if the door was gone there would have been police involved before we even found out who took it. And now we deadbolt our door.

On Thursday Tyler brought her bunny Merv over. He's a cute fluffy white bunny. He's potty trained and can be on a leash. But he doesn't walk (hop?) on the leash very well. He likes to do his own thing. People got into a big debate over taking him for a walk vs taking him for a hop. Any ideas to what it is? Anyway, our neighbors picked up a puppy for their family. So Old Farm really was a farm that day. That puppy was adorable. I can't wait to have a dog again. So help me if my husband is allergic.
Oh and I made my family's favorite chocolate mint snow-top cookies. Let's just say my siblings weren't very happy with me...They got demolished pretty quickly...
And then later that night I went over to Blake's and watched How to Train Your Dragon on bluray. It was pretty adorable. For some reason Astrid reminded me of my roommate Tyler. Plus. Bluray is quite awesome. Especially when you watch a VHS the next night...you can see a huge difference.

Friday. Friday I went to my one class. And found out that for fall break next week...since our Friday classes are moved to Thursday...she cancelled class! Exciting! :) That means I get an extra day! I also got some homework accomplished - I had to go to the major fair for one of my classes.
As I was sitting home on my bed, my phone starts ringing! Okay. So the ringing part isn't that cool. But it turns out it was one of my awesome friends coming to visit me! Sometimes he's a cool kid.
Later that night we went to the hockey game. I thought I didn't have a heart. But apparently I do. By our fifth point I just felt bad. I felt bad to cheer. I didn't even want to clap. The cheers were mean. It didn't feel like the basketball and football game cheers. Those ones seem more general and not as mean-spirited. These were all pretty directly aimed at the goalie. And maybe because it was close enough that they could actually hear everything. I don't know. I wasn't a huge fan. We left early...and on our way home we saw the Easter Bunny crossing the street. And then we watched Aladdin.
On Saturday I felt super productive. I decided to stay home while my roommates went hiking. I figured I should do some of my Monday homework considering I have like 5 assignments due Monday (today...). So I got a few of those knocked out of the way. Then when they got home, Tyler and I went to Violet Hill Boutique. I bought cute flower earrings and a really comfy brown shirt that has buttons on the sleeves. It's pretty rad. I like it. There were some dresses there that I really liked...but were just too short, especially going into winter. Oh well.
Later that afternoon, Heather, Tyler, and I went to deliver my visiting teaching assignments...I'm a slacker. I had them almost a week. One of the girls reactions was so funny. It looked like she was heading out on a date or something...and she was like "Is that our visiting teaching assignments?!" So she takes the pile (it had hers and all her roommates) and starts digging through it excitedly. Needless to say, I know she'll get it done. I need an attitude more like hers! I at least have an awesome partner named Heather! We will be much better than I was last year where I only went a handful of times...because Shayna was the one who cared and got us to do it.
Oh and Tyler found a leaf bug on her truck. She named him Ginko. He lived on my nose for a minute. And we had show-and-tell at I3 (Brett, Matt, and Cody) with him. And invited them to a movie night.
Anyway, after we did that...we went to the store and I bought all the stuff to make my fabulous pumpkin roll, the treat for our visiting teaching training, and our (me and Heather) crayon art.
I really like Pinterest. It's where all "my" great ideas come from. It's the greatest time waster. But maybe someday I'll make a dent in actually doing what I pin...not just look at it all pretty and forget about it. You can see my boards *here*. Oh and if you want to join the addiction, I'd be more than happy to send you an invite.
So anyway...to sum up Saturday night, Heather and I did our crayon artwork while Tyler and Matt and Sarah watched us. For the gist of how to do it, click *here* Then we stopped by some dance party the Pie Night boys were holding...for all of about two seconds. And then played Just Dance 3 over at Brian's because his living room set up is more spacious than ours.
Sunday morning I woke up and started making the pumpkin roll. I had never made one before. Or seen my mom make one. In fact, I had never had one until a supervisor meeting at work when Nikki made it. Anyway, it was amazing so I figured it was worth a shot. If I failed, I had at least tried. I guess I didn't fail though. Because before the night was over it had somehow disappeared...for the recipe click *here*
And I made homemade oreos (except they weren't really homemade...I bought a boxed mix) for the visiting teaching training we had last night. I was little miss baker extraordinaire yesterday. I wanted to make Halloween funfetti cupcakes...but haven't seen the mix lately. What the heck? It's not even Halloween. You can't be out Walmart.
We went to church...where I really had no attention span. Except for Sunday school. Normally it's the opposite. I get distracted during Sunday school. But we had a really good lesson taught by Shayna. It went really well and there was lots of participation too which was nice.
I was all baked out when I got home...so I made soup and toast for dinner. And learned how to use a toaster oven. My roommates probably thought I was dumb. But I've never used one. I owned one for a minute when Heather (sister) moved to Maryland and gave me a ton of her stuff...but we just gave it to a guy at my dad's work haha. Then we went to our visiting teacher thing. And I taught my little rotation. I always felt like I was rambling and saying the same thing over and over. And would end early. But I guess that's what happens when everyone else has two teachers and you are the only one for yours. But it was cool. I knew Kim had to work. It was funny we had been paired together considering she was the only person I really knew beforehand. I figure it went "good enough" for what I had to work with haha.
And now it's the start of another week....hopefully it can top the last, but the bar is set pretty high...so we'll see :)
