I thought I was in the scene from Just Married. I think Matt's morning breath must have killed it because it didn't seem to move when I screamed. After getting over the shock I grabbed the camera because I didn't think anyone would believe me. And now for the truth- Matt and I have been helping our friends put some last minute touches on their haunted house. (http://www.revenanthaunt.com/) One part of it has a cave that is crawling with fake bugs. I took on the task of stringing these rubber roaches. I literally sewed the string to the ceiling and the glued 500 roaches in formation crawling up the walls. I took my bucket of roaches into work on Friday and had good times with everyone. Katee was the best, I put it behind her desk on the floor and went to talk to her- in the middle of talking I jumped and yelled "Katee- Oh my Gosh!" and she looked back and the roach caught her eye and she screamed bloody murder! She screamed so loud one of the guys on the other side of the office rang her on the intercom just to make sure she was ok. It was a fun prank all day. That night a big group of us went out to eat before going to the haunted house and we caught a few people by surprise by putting the roach in their menus, Katee happened to be one of them that grabbed the wrong menu and it still got her again! Good times- the haunt was awesome- they put so much work and effort into it and it looks great. (I couldn't talk Dad into coming to check out my roach placing skills!)Saturday Katee and Drew came over for some homemade breakfast and to watch General Conference. We stuffed ourselves with an omelet scramble, hash browns, biscuits and gravy (my favorite), a fruit bowl, and OJ. Delicious! We enjoyed two great sessions of conference, and then we invited all the girls over for craft night while the guys took off for the priesthood session. What a project it turned out to be! Mom, Connie (Leah's Mom for those of you who haven't met her yet), and Carrie worked on clocks. They found out that was a bigger project than they could complete in one night. So they helped us sand down blocks for painting. I pulled out the chop saw to cut strips of wood down to blocks. The hardest part of it all was trying to figure out how to take off the safety so I could use it! I had to ask two neighbors to look at it because Katee and I couldn't figure it out- they looked at it and I think they were pretty embarrassed because they couldn't either- one of them told me he felt like he needed to turn in his man card because he was just as dumb founded as I was. Luckily I called home depot and they helped me find the one simple little pin I had to pull back! We had a great night together- I don't think any of our crafts were exactly like we had planned them, and poor Carrie (I don't know how I missed getting a picture of her) she was so determined to keep working, but so tired from her long day! She did some cute baby blocks that she took home to finish. Since I didn't finish my project until 12:30 last night, I thought I would throw it up here so the girls can see what it looked like when it was completed. Everyone knows I love craft night so for those of you that missed all the fun we'll do it again for sure!
