Kari is a Witch!

Last Friday, my friends and I dressed up for the Witches Festival which was at Gardner's Village (an outdoor mall kind of like Riverwoods in Provo at 7800 South in Salt Lake). They had Halloween music blasting, food, lots of displays, pumpkins, and fun! The most fun of the whole experience was meeting at Jerrilyn's house and digging through all her fun stuff and figuring out a witch costume. We did a lot of laughing and had a lot of fun. It was nice to have a girls night out and not worry about kids. Afterwards, we went to IHOP and had a late dinner. We were in costume and had some kids look at us and point "Look at the Witches!" One little girl asked us why we were dressed up because it wasn't Halloween yet. It was a lot of fun. I'm glad that I could get out and have some fun because the next day we found out that Kalli had the Swine flu and I know I wouldn't have enjoyed my night out if I would have known. She was just miserable the whole weekend with aches and pains and fever and coughing but she is better now. We are so lucky that she was the only one in the family to get it. (knock on wood) There has been tons of sickness going around the neighborhood. Last Sunday, we had half the primary out (the whole sunbeam class wasn't there!) There were only five of the 20 kids that showed up in nursery and we weren't the only ward affected. The other ward that meets in our building had a lot of families out because of sickness. I think Kalli's school teacher had about 10 kids out of 25 kids that were out sick and her teacher was home sick too. Hopefully, everyone will be getting better soon.
