My Seussical Life for 2003 October 18

Sat Oct 18 2003 22:31 Socializing: We have been quite busy this weekend. On Friday night, we celebrated "Canadian Thanksgiving" with a handful of Canadians that we know, and some we didn't, from our Ward here in Lawrence. It was really fun. If you are wondering, no, there is no difference really in the Thanksgiving feast of a Canadian as compared to one in the States. Although--have you ever eaten Nanaimo Squares? Well, that would have been one unfamiliar item to most Americans. The first taste I had of this delectable Canadian treat was at our pre-wedding reception in Cardston, Alberta.

Tonight we went to a "dinner group." I signed up on a paper that was circulating on a clip board in Relief Society, and someone organized all the names into "dinner groups." Now we are taking turns as host, providing the main dish, and all other group members bring a side dish, dessert, etc. It seems like it will be fun. It was enjoyable tonight.

Sat Oct 18 2003 23:08 Trilobites: We received a fun package of trilobite fossils from a very thoughtful cousin today. When I explained to Atticus that long ago, these creatures got stuck in the mud, he was alarmed. He said, "Mom, lets get them out!"

Sat Oct 18 2003 23:09 Them Bones: Atticus found a book about bodies, and he was fascinated when he realized that he has bones and muscles. He danced around and contorted himself while admiring his movements. Then he exclaimed that he has blue bones. Blue is his very favorite color. What other color would they be?
