Do you remember our family meeting where I said something like Jared and Emily have really been getting along well lately? Well, they have made a valiant effort to prove me wrong today. I won't go into all the details except to tell you that there was biting and punching involved...out in public...in front of people...who aren't our family. It looked something like this only with real people who are our children. We should probably leave the country.
This morning started off just like the last few. Carson's internal alarm clock woke him up just as I got to the top of the stairs to wake up the fighters for seminary. He really wanted to go into Emily's room to give her a hug but luckily Emily told him she would give him one downstairs or else he would still be lost in the clutter that is her room.
He made sure they didn't miss their ride but then he came and crashed in our bed. It's Wednesday...I can tell we are starting to lose our momentum from the weekend and now we are just plain tired. Here are a few pics to show you how rough it was this morning.
The chocolate milk perked him right up and he got ready. As we were sitting on the stairs, tying his shoes he pointed to my painted toenails with a smile on his face. I asked him if he liked the red and he nodded, then he planted a nice, juicy kiss right on my cheek. I didn't realize that all I had to do to get a kiss from my cute boy was to paint my toenails! He left before Emily and Jared got home so he only got the mom goodbye.
I spent the day rearranging stuff. I'm not going to tell you what I am rearranging...you'll just have to be surprised. I also learned the secret to making a pretty green smoothie. Remember how I was wondering how people made smoothies that weren't a brownish color. Well today, I learned how. You use frozen peaches, a banana, a couple handfuls of power greens and a scoop of yogurt. It wasn't bad either....for a smoothie with no extra sugar. I think it would taste really yummy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream but that might be defeating the purpose of drinking a healthy smoothie. Isn't it just lovely?!
Tonight we had scouts and youth night. Carson was so thrilled to find out it was finally the day to go to scouts that he jumped off the bus without even a thought to where Dad was. Don't worry, though, he still misses you and wishes that you would come home already!! Carson didn't want to leave scouts tonight and decided the best way to prevent that was to drop to the floor and go limp. I love it when he does that. Especially when there is a big crowd of people around to watch how I am going to get this limp kid out to the car.
I really think we are going to have to leave the country!!
Love,
Shanon
