Happy Thanksgiving Eve!!!

This weekend I decided the best way to document my holiday experience was through various posts showing all my family's shenanigans. Today I woke up in thatcher and had to go to one of my classes cause one of my genius teachers decided the best way to make us all hate him was to have a test on the day before thanksgiving. Well Mr. sociology teacher mission accomplished.


So I show up to class ready to take the test and make a mad dash to my car when he decides to lecture for 30 min. Then he puts it up to a class vote if we want to stay for another 30 min lecture or just take the test and leave. I thought that no one would vote for the later choice, but it seems I underestimated the classes obnoxious suck ups. Five kids voted to stay and learn, who actually goes to class to learn, weird concept huh.


Anyhoo the class slackers and I voted the lecture idea down, so I took the test and scurried to the valley. When I got there I met up with the fam at our favorite hang out spot, COSTCO!!!


At Costco I found exactly what I'm getting Adam for Christmas. (he's like the younger brother I never had)

I also taught Madilyn how to pose for all the holiday pictures ha ha

After we dragged mom out of Costco we went home to cook for Thanksgiving. At home Jill came up with the coolest meal, its called dinner in a pumpkin. What we did was carve out a pumpkin and fill it with a mixture of meat, onions, cream of chicken soup, mushrooms, water chestnuts and different spices. After you fill the pumpkin up you put it in the oven to cook. Then you scrap it out of the pumpkin and scrap some of the warm soft pumpkin sides out too. It was SSOOOOO GOOD :)

This is everyone enjoying the wonderful meal......and Adam being......well Adam.

Later, Adam got a hold of an empty bottle the entertainment possibilities seemed endless. So This is a picture of him drunk...........and this is when he passed out. ( I think the main reasons we keep him around is simply for the laughs ;)

HALLOWEEN

Every year in the dorms there is a decorating contest for the scariest dorm room. This year my fellow community mates went a little over board. Our story line was that our dorm was a insane asylum, but it had to be condemned after one of the prisoners went crazy and butchered everyone and now it is haunted by their spirits. So the following pictures show how amazing and disturbing my roommates all are ha ha. (o and the finally product had strobe lights and creepy sounds that included laughter, screaming, lightning, and chains rattling coming from all around the room)

This is what people saw when they walked by our dorm.



This where we watch t.v.....and witness terrifying murders.

This is why they shouldn't allow guns in Insane Asylums. (I thought it was standard protocol but apparently not)
These are some of the dead crazies that are haunting the place.

O and this is my favorite, this is the table where the attending doctors performed surgeries on live victims. So on the table there is chains to hold them down and a variety of torture devices that they used. I don't know if you can see this well but there is an eyelash curler covered in blood and an eyeball thats been stabbed by a knive......now that is pretty sick


In order for them to do all of his our room was under constant construction for two weeks. And do you know what I did for two weeks.....sprinted straight to my room because it completely creeped me out.
