Funny things I don't want to forget...

First of all... the last couple of weeks have been hilarious.  Here are a couple of the more choice tidbits...

Sammy, got dropped off at Nursery... still adjusting... and the one leader that he does really well with wasn't there... so he got down on the floor at the crack in the door and just bawled, "Daddy, WHERE ARE YOU!?"

Another time, we put Sammy down to sleep at Grandma and Grandpa's while Jer worked on trains with his dad... Sammy just cried for a half an hour... finally stopped crying and started yelling, "I'm happy!.... Yay!"  (Kind of like... I'll stop throwing a tantrum, just come get me please!)

Ada found a toy stethoscope while playing and decided to check my heart... Her heart was fine, Evelyn's heart was fine, but, "Mommy you're very dead..." (Surprise to me right?)

Jer and I left the kids with my friend Robyn while we went to the SLC temple with his sister... the next day when Robyn stopped by to get something Ada looked at me and said, "Mommy, can you and Daddy go to the temple to get married and Robyn can stay here with me?" 

And Ada has been pretending to be different animals lately... among the many... cat, dog, bull, tiger, bird... but her favorite and loudest choice is a horse... obviously horses spend a lot of their time screaming, "NEIGH!" and rearing... and what did she decided to be all through church today?  A horse... all through sacrament you could hear her... and in turn... me ("Ada, sit down!  We don't act like horses in church.  Is that reverent?")  And more than likely she was a contributing factor in the Sunbeams today... The class of 7 Sunbeams were so rowdy in Primary that they were excused to their separate class early so that they could practice being reverent.  Nice.

My sister Sharon was over the other day and had to leave in the middle of my kids naps... so when Ada woke up and found that she had gone home she had the saddest, most tragic look on her face and was trying so hard not to cry... So... I think she loves you Sharon even if she runs away when you ask her for a hug...

And finally... Ada is ready for baby Evelyn.  She keeps talking about when she comes out of me (so I don't explode) then she can rock her and sing to her and help feed her.  And today she brought me a doll dress and put it on my tummy.  She said, "Mommy it fits her just right!"
