I love when Abbie Cleans!

Abbie's preschool got cancelled today because Ms. Nicholle wasn't going to be in town. Abbie felt like doing "projects". I love it when she gets in her mood to clean because she just goes at it (btw yesterday I came home from Visit Teaching and she had a chair up to the fridge and she was wiping it down with the stainless steel wipes). So far this morning: she washed the dishes from breakfast, windexed the back door, wiped down the walls, cleaned my table, and she is still going strong. Its Tuesday Tub day so I might unleash her willingness on the bathrooms. (She just asked for my help in taking out the garbage. Gosh, can't she do that?!)

LOL...did you see my blog??...our kids are in the mood to clean! I'm excited for Truman to be a little older like Abbie so that it is more helpful than not...if you know what i mean. :)

If you can teach me how to burn c.d.s, I will send you some of my Kindermusik songs. The 3 year old class theme is all about cleaning, washing, cooking this semester. Really cute songs.

Why I totally rule: How I rediscovered my chi

(In order to fully appreciate this post, you MUST put on the background music. Just click the play from youtube. This has potential to be a longagong post so you might as well enjoy some tunes. I did most of my training with these gentleman blasting in my ear. Vampire Weekend, I love you.) Here's the story with the gory details. Why do you tri? On October 18, 2004 I delivered a 16 week old boy in the same room of the American Fork hospital that I lost one six months earlier. (I get pregnant really easily.) The previous week I had seen the doctor and everything was looking good and right on track so yay for me. While the first one was devastating (a whole other post for a whole other day), it was number 2 that changed me. I was so angry at my body for betraying me and not letting me do what I wanted it to do. I figured I was doing all the "right things" with the taking care of myself so therefore, I would be able to carry the babies to term and everyone would live happily ...

I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, but Primary?!

Brad took the picture of me teaching GD a year ago. I was not pleased. No pictures. Brad took this picture of Max while I was teaching GD a month ago. I was pleased. Pictures of Max are fine by me. Some important thoughts on my new calling: In the 21 years since I have been in Primary as a merrie miss (apparently they are not called that anymore), I have subbed a handfull of times. It was not a success. One time, while subbing for Brad I went into the class and the boys had escaped out the window. All I saw were a set of feet as the kid was leaping out. Another time, while subbing for Brad I used the tie some kid was using and irritating everyone around him with and TIED HIM TO THE CHAIR. Another time, while subbing, the kid sliced his finger on the chair (not the same kid and he was not trying to escape my tying him up.) and ended up in the ER. (and it so happens that his mom is my 2nd counselor. I think that's funny.) I really really really loved teaching Gospel Doctrine. I hope ...

I am not sure if he is showing off his new tie he got for Christmas? He is a handsome little guy!
