Fall is here, let the traditions BEGIN!

I love this time of year! We have a fun tradition to do dinner in a pumpkin and then carve pumpkins and watch a fun movie like Hocus Pocus! This is a fun activity if you have kids and it makes a great easy dinner. Try it you'll love it!!

UPDATE!!

GO SEE BODY WORLDS 3 Exhibit....I just got back and it was amazing! It was one of the most interesting exhibits I have ever seen, you are missing out if you dont go!!

Today is the day....

Body Worlds EXHIBIT!!!

I am so excited to go and see Body Worlds today. This is an exhibit of real people who have donated their bodies to science and have been preserved in a special way . All of the cadavers have been displayed in different ways to show the human body in a more interesting way than just looking at a cadaver on a table..Its at the Leonardo at the Library in SLC and this is supposed to be an amazing exhibit. I am SUPER excited to go and see what its all about!!

I got a comment from Natalie saying she was having withdrawls from my favorite things blogs, so heres my new favorite thing....Sudafed Severe cold!! I have had the WORST cold this week, and for all of you who have kids, you know that when you are sick, you just keep on going, but really all I want to do is just lay down and DIE!! Hopefully I am getting over this HIDEOUS cold, but based off of the way I felt this morning, its not looking good, SO theres my update, and hopefully I will be a little more exciting NEXT week!!!
