Emily

This is Emily.
She went to an American Girl birthday party as a WWII nurse.
I thought her little hat turned out well, so you get to see it.
They did a "how to host a murder" thing, only it was "who stole the candy" thing
(The mom stole it, of course)

One of those families

This year for Easter, I decided to get coordinating outfits for us.

I felt just like "one of those families" who do that all the time.

The pics look terrible, but it was a sunny Sunday (the week after Easter), so we took pictures!

my cute litle girl!

After Elle left for school on St Patrick's day, I went to my room and found this on my bed! My favorite part is the earrings ;)

I made sure to wear my CTR ring the night before St. Patty's Day so I could thorougly pinch Chris. (which I did) And conviently, it was so small Elle didn't see it. She
pinched me, and so according to the rules, I got to pitch her back 10 times :)
AND that night while Elle was taking a shower, I hid in her room. When she came in her room in her bathrobe (without any green on it) I jumped out and pinched her. She gave the most satisfying scream :)

We had green milk in the morning. I put ham sadwhiches with green lettuce and green mayo in Chris and Elle's lunches. I also gave them green apples. My friend told me that she knew someone who dyed the toliet water green. I'll have to try that next year. For dinner we had a traditional corned beef and cabbage for dinner. It was a fun day. :]

It was backward day at school Friday, so I fixed Elle 's hair
backwards .
I thought it turned out great!

She wore her shirt backwards and some pants that look like their backwards because they have little pockets on the front. She told me that someone in her class wore their shoes backwards. He had to stand on them to make it work, so the teacher made him put them on normally.

Sunday Hair

I wanted to do Elle's hair all cool since we have 11:00 church now
(which, I think is the best time ever!)



cool, huh?

She (and I) got LOTS of compliments on
how cute it was .
And
they all asked how I managed to do it!
I told them I was envisioning it that morning,
and I decided to try it out.
And
It worked!

Just kidding! Here's her real hair do!

Definitive Proof

I now know for myself that toliet paper comes from trees.
Not that I doubted, mind you.
But today, I have definitive proof that this is true.
I opened up a package of toliet paper today.
I noticed right away
(see how observant I am?!)
that there was something on one of the rolls.
I opened it up and saw:













What appears to be a small piece of a tree.

Here's a close up just in case.

and another one, to be sure:

Is that crazy or what?!

Star Trek

The other month, Elle was saying something about how we haven't watched Star Trek lately. She said she liked watching it because she likes Captain Clark and Spot.

I like them too.

Woa.

Since it's Sunday and all, I thought I'd post a quote that I've been meaning to.

It's a quote by President Boyd K. Packer that I read in the new Book of Mormon student manual. He said this at a BYU Women's Conference, May, 5, 2006.

The heading is Mosiah 29:26-27. The danger of the Majority Choosing "That Which Is Not Right"

"The virtue of tolerance has been distorted and elevated to a prominence as to be thought equal to and even valued more than morality. It is one thing to be tolerant, even forgiving of individual conduct. It is quite another to collectively legislate and legalize to protect immoral conduct that can weaken, even destroy the family.

There is a dangerous trap when tolerance is exaggerated to protect the rights of those whose conduct endangers the family and injures the rights of the more part of the people. We are getting dangerously close to the condition described by the prophet Mosiah"

Like I said: Woa.
