BINGO

BINGO...I just don't get the appeal! We went tonight with Sarah to her school for bingo night. BORING. Really. I don't see how people could think this is fun. I don't see how anyone could waste so much time playing bingo. Maybe I am just bitter that I didn't win...hum...

you are one big boy

The other day Becca and David were running around and they collided. Becca hopped up but David was still crying. I told Becca to help David up. She reached around his middle and tried to pick him up. After three attempts she was successful, but as she came up she was holding her back and said, "Oh, my back." Then looking and pointing at David she said, " you are one big boy." I just had to laugh. He is only about 3 lbs away from over taking her in the weight category...it won't be long :)

A little emotional!

So this afternoon I was conducting Relief Society and when I got to the front I just got really emotional. It hit me that I would have to say goodbye to these awesome people! I love change, but I hate saying goodbye. As I was crying a good friend came up and gave me a big hug and I said oh man I still have 6 months, we still have 6 good months left!

I don't know why but I just can't pass a bargain! I went into Target this morning for one thing and realized that their Christmas stuff was 90% off. It was the first day and it was first thing in the morning. I couldn't believe all the things that were selling for mere pennies. Needless to say I spent about $15 on things for next year. Hey if we are hauling our things a few more Christmas things won't hurt. (when you think about it I got about $150 worth of merchandise.)

I'm not your servant!

I was just starting a load of laundry and asked Becca if she could get the laundry from her room. She looked at me and said, "I'm not your servant." I couldn't help but crack up. I kept sorting my laundry and then I started the washer and said I can only wash the laundry if I have it in my pile. She immediately ran and got her laundry.

phrase of the day

"That's just nonsense"

Today while we were having reading lessons Becca was reading her story the girl wanted a man to pet a pig and he said he would pet a duck. When she read that she looked at me and said "that's just nonsense" I asked her why and she said he wouldn't pet a rubber duck. haha. She also said that the girl shouldn't pet the pig because he might be muddy. They have to stretch to make stories out of words they can read.

Yesterday her phrase was "I'm puzzled" she kept confusing her b's with d's. too cute.

I forgot to say that for Christmas Aaron printed out all of my blogs and put them in a binder. It was 83 pages!

Becca and Sarah, goodnight!

The other night, I passed by the girl's room as they were falling asleep. Sarah was under her covers, snoring loudly and obviously pretending she was asleep. Becca called out, "Dad, I can't fall asleep because Sarah keeps honking!"

Kids are so funny if you really listen to them.

Here's another picture from Christmas in California.
