A Wedding??

Tonight I went up to Paige's room and knelt down next to her on the floor and said
"I love your sparkly lips."
 She said "It's for a wedding." 
"Your wedding or someone else's?"
"Mine." 
"Who are you marrying?" 
With a sparkle in her eyes "My rapend (pretend) boyfriend." 
"What's his name?" 
"Uncle Jeff!" 
He's a great catch....but he is 29 years older....and your Uncle. 

Primary Program 2012

Paige debuted in her first Primary Program Practice last Sunday.  The part she was given seemed a little over her head and I had meant to call the counselor and ask if we could 'dumb it down' a little for her, but never got to it.  The primary room was all abuzz on Sunday so I just let it go.  Sure enough, the reports that came back were pretty funny.  She had memorized "1 Nephi 3:7 I will go, I will do, the things the Lord commands."  But for her other part she said "I can choose the right by living princess gossiples."  Intepretation...I can choose the right by living gospel principles.
Kate has an entire talk about Nephi.  We'll see how they do tomorrow.

Eventful Night

This morning I was so tired when I left for the gym that I thought I was forgetting something as I went into the garage.  Nope, keys check, cell phone check.  As I climbed into the car I realized I didn't have any shoes on!  I was also distracted because I was still laughing at Paige who had come into our room and said "Who shotted my door?  I was scared of the dark."  Our smoke dectector in our bedroom was 'chirping' all night.  Rick thought it started at 4am.  I thought it started at midnight.  Anyway, at 6:45 I stood on Rick's shoulders to get it down (14' ceilings in our bedroom) and it came crashing to the floor...luckily missing Rick's head, but waking Paige who thought her door was being shot through!  All three of us are a little tired today..luckily the rest of the family didn't hear a thing. 

Election Day 2012...Romney vs. Obama

Kate came home from school today and said "who did you vote for Mom?"  "I voted for Mitt Romney because we looked on the computer about them and I liked Mitt Romney better because he likes to ride horses and his favorite animal is a dog.  And because Barrak Obama was already the President so I think we should give Mitt Romney a chance.  And Barrak Obama likes to play basketball and eat chili."
Wow...guess she missed the Romney sign we had in the front yard...and all of the conversations we had about the campaign and the issues.  But she did learn that it's important to vote and to know why you are voting for who you are... in a first grade sort of way!
The votes are being counted....Rick is heading to a political event tonight in Bellevue.  Alot of nervousness and excitement here.
Paige came home from Preschool on Friday and said, "look Mom, the blue guy won (showing me a picture of the candidates) and he's going to be the President for 4 more days (which she later switched so years)!
