More funny things kids say...

For any of you who still check my blog, you can tell I've gotten a bit lazy with it lately. Too many problems trying to post pictures discouraged me and I took a sabbatical. I'm slowly getting back into it, but I'm easing my way in with stories. So for those of you who are willing to read, here you go.

This story tells you a little about our Amelie dearest...

She likes to accompany me while I get ready in the morning and put on my makeup. She plays with it and pretends she's doing it too. Well, she broke my powder compact, so I took it away from her and told her she couldn't play with it anymore. She insisted upon having it and climbed up on the toilet so she could reach it off the counter, where I had strategically set it out of her reach. I warned her that if she touched it, she would have to go sit on her bed in time out. As if she didn't hear a word I said, she continued her climb up to the counter and then reached out and slowly but ever so carefully touched the item my compact was sitting on. Then without turning her head, she stared at me out of the corner of her eyes, waiting to see what would happen. I didn't flinch. Afterall, I said if she touched "the compact" she would go to timeout, not the thing it was on. Then she had a better idea. "Mama, I gotta wash hands." "ok" I said. So she rinsed them in water, and then proceeded to get some soap...BUT...on the way up to the soap she deliberately brushed her hand ever so lightly across my compact, and quickly squirted soap in those tiny little hands. End of story.

Chase wanted to wrestle/fight today, so this is what he said. "Hey mom, how 'bout you be the Phantom, and Amelie will be Christine, and we'll fight." "But who are you going to be?" I asked, to which he replied, "I'm Raoul". Do any of you know a 3 year old who pretends to be Raoul from Phantom of the Opera in order to fight? And then while we were pretend fighting he said, "You can't have her. She's mine!" Hahahahahaha!

To sum it up

To sum up the last 9 months... We went to Disney World and Universal in March with Rick’s family. It was a BLAST! Favorite part was Harry Potter world. Favorite ride was Rockin’ Roller coaster, or Hogwarts castle, or the Avatar ride.  Rick and I coached track March-May. It was fun but stressful. I like doing something for the community. I don’t like running a program w my husband and not enough adult help.   Kids finished school in May and we went on a camping trip Memorial weekend to St Joe State Park with our favorite people, Richardsons. Some other ward families came too. Marcellino’s and Smith’s.  Summer hit, Soleil got baptized, and Rick got a job offer to work for Cricut in Utah. Finally a job closer to family! We spent three very stressful weeks prepping our house for sale and then took off to Utah driving both our cars on July 13th.  The following week we vacationed in Lake Powell with my family. After coming home from that we settled into Heather’s basement ...

2019 is my year to Be Prepared

Last year I decided to make a goal that involved one phrase, no guilt. That phrase stuck in my mind all year long, and guided me through a lot of situations. I found by the end of the year, that I really had changed because of those two words. In all the years past that I have set goals, I have set very specific reachable things. I always find that a few months into the year my motivation drops off and I don’t follow through with the goal. By the end of the year I either feel disappointed in myself, or I can’t even remember what my goal was to begin with. Last year was different in a very good way. So I’ve decided to do the same thing this year. After pondering and praying about what my goal should be this year, I came up with the phrase be prepared. There are so many ways to be prepared in life, spiritually, physically, temporarily, etc. I find that a lot of my stress on a daily basis could be remedied if I had only spent a little time before hand to prepare for that moment for that s...

Golf date

We went on a group date Friday night with our best friends here in St Louis, Wilson’s and Richardson’s. We went to a new place in Chesterfield called Top Golf. We ate yummy food and visited while we hit golf balls off a platform. It was the first time I had ever hit golf balls in a real way, aside from miniature golf. It was harder than it looks. Everyone had fun and I came home sore.
