Sweet Evenings

I love bedtime!!! Clean kids after baths... Falling asleep when your eyes just can't stay open any longer...with your hand holding the page.
This is the one time we all relax and just enjoy books! I really should do this more during the day, but it's like I have given myself permission to not worry about finishing the dishes, sweeping the floor, returning emails, etc during this time. I have even stopped answering the phone because it's hard to get the peace back once I've transferred so many little bodies!
We just love our blue reading chair!!!!

Flying Kites

A few weeks ago, we flew some kites from Aunt Jamie. We had a great time, but there are no pictures of Emily because I held her the entire time, as the day was very windy... After I put her down for a nap, we had hot chocolate with marshmallows!

Happy Birthday...

to Dr. Seuss! I saw a friend at the gym this afternoon who left me know today is Dr. Seuss's birthday! They were going to have green eggs and ham for dinner. Since I had nothing planned and knew Andy wasn't going to be around, that sounded great! So, Ben made the green eggs (which he was very nervous to try even though Annie, Emily, and I had already devoured ours!), I did the ham and heated up a few leftover pancakes from Daddy's weekend. It was so yummy!

Then for family home evening we read Doctrine and Covenants 88:118 - seek wisdom out of the best books.... And read "Oh, the places you'll go" that Andy got for a graduation gift many many moons ago. It was such a fun night!!!

Now I'm all geared up for PIE DAY - hopefully that will last...
