just all those extras hanging around

The other night for FHE we learned about Captain Moroni and his Title of Liberty. It was fun acting out rending our coats and waving our flags. Then we made our own titles which are now hanging on the front door so we can see them every day. These are the things we will stand up for-

Abi:

• Toys and stuffed animals
• Grandma and Grandpa
• Birthdays

Dan:

• Family
• Freedom
• Gospel
• Electricity
• Automobiles
• Sunshine

Clarissa:

• family
• Heavenly Father
• Savior
• Marriage
• Talents
• Testimony

Why do I always look so ragged on Mondays?

Do you see our finished product? We finally stained and sealed our hand-me-down armoire. We LOVE how it turned out. Check!

So the next project in our trampoline. We scored this for $25.00 off of KSL. It is an in-ground trampoline… with no legs. That doesn’t bother us because we are crafty, except that we don’t have a hole for it yet. SO, of course, Dan is awesome and makeshifted this for Abi to jump on while we get the hole dug. Any volunteers?

We were invited over to our neighbors to swim last week. It was a great two hours.

Is is just me or has everyone noticed that Abi ALWAYS has food on her face. Even photos from last year are like that. We even help her wash her face! Today it was so gross and my visiting teachers asked her if she had chocolate and she got this bashful look and replied that she had been eating dirt! WHAT THE? That SO caught me off guard. Someday she will realize that isn’t very nice to look at and she may decide to wash it off. Right now, I ask her and then it is her job to be responsible to wash it off.
