Super Kids

On Saturday morning, I heard little feet tip toeing down the hall. I looked up from my bed and was surprised to see two super heroes on a special spying mission. They were hush-hush and wanted to surprise daddy.

Primary Program

So, we had our primary program yesterday and the kids did so well! I am so pleased with how well they did, and I consider it a miracle considering our rehearsal the week before was chaos at best.

The most funny part, however was after the program was finished and the closing prayer was being said, MY SON, ducked under the sacrament table cloth and started eating the sacrament bread! Christian just about died and gave a serious threatening stare / warning with his eyes. Even despite the warning, Alexander persisted in grabbing bits of bread and eating them. Oh, this wasn't such a fun game when the meeting was over! I am holding onto him in the picture while he is squirming out of my hands and onto the floor.

Hello again...

Someone said that posting a blog is like creating a journal entry. Writing on Facebook is like saying something that is on your mind in one or two sentences. I just started Facebooking last week and I love it because it is so easy. That said, I still want to keep up on our blog. So, here is my effort to do a better job on updating our blog.

Above is Alexander using my bundt pan as his costume in a "fashion show" that he and Emma were having in their pajamas. He was marching around the house using the bundt as a sort of megaphone, boy was it loud! Emma was wearing her butterfly wings, crown and butterfly scepter in her costume. I guess puzzles were a part of the show too.

One morning last week, I thought it was amazing that the kids weren't up earlier. I waited until 7:00 and then went downstairs to wake up the sleeping munchkins. Emma's room was empty, so I checked Xander's and this is what I saw...see below photo.

Emma was dressed in a Taekwondo outfit and Xander was in his batman gear and she was reading him "The Rooftop Mystery." I turned right around and went back upstairs to get the camera. I love it!

Xander is a boys' boy. He loves his trucks and cars. He often parks his cars on his bed all in a line. It's so cute. Whenever we check on him, we remove the cars, toys and books in his bed because he moves around a lot while he sleeps. Our cute booter boy.

Our apartment needed new A/C units because our current units drip all over everything, quit working for no reason, and make noise like a hamster running around inside a wheel, etc. So, we have moved to a new apartment down the hall for two weeks so that they can do the work they need to do. This is what our house looked like after they prepped the area. Above is our kitchen, below is our living room. We put all of our things on one side of the room and they used a staple gun and tape to put the tarps into place. I have a feeling the work will be messy.

I had to crawl under the tarp to get some things today and it was pretty tricky. I cooked and baked all last week to freeze some dinners to make life easier for us in temporary housing. I didn't want to have to take all of my spices, cooking tools, sauces, etc. with me. So, let's hope it all works out okay and I didn't leave too many necessary items buried in corners under the tarps.
