The other day A woke up with a cough.  I asked him him how he was feeling.  A, "I'm sick, I can't go to school today."  Me: " You're OK  you can go to school."  A, "No mom, I can't go to school today, I have to stay home so the other kids will be safe."

I've been reading a lot on my kindle lately.  I type in free christian and that way I usually don't get books that are explicit.  I found this one book that I really enjoyed called "The Witness"  by Grace Livingston Hill.  It was written in the early 1900's.  It was very "preachy"  some might say, but a really enjoyed her unabashed testimonies of Christ in a work of fiction.  She got me really thinking about how I live my life as a Christian.

Busy Day

Today  A and I went to the Museum of ancient Life at Thanksgiving Point with his class.  Thanksgiving point asked them to come because KSL was filming there and they needed more kids, so they were able to go for free.  I asked A what his favorite thing at the museum was, he said, "The Sandtable of course,"  but of course :}.

Ms. A asked A to take care of K today.  So he kept walking around with his arm around him. lol

Class picture.  A wouldn't hold his balloon still so you can see it in the picture moving.

All the kids wanted to ride this weird alligator like statue for some reason.

It snowed and snowed all day today.  More snow then we've had in one day in years I think.  I must say, although it is beautiful it's so stressful to drive in and so cold I really just don't like it much.  These are the kind of days when I really miss California :].

Craft Project

These are all old frame I repainted. I love to have pictures of my family surrounding me, but I can't stand the hodge podge a display of family pictures usually makes.  I created this display by sanding all my old frames and painting them a warm white.  I tnen used craft glue to glue  metal objects, jewlery and handles onto the frames to embelish them.  I am very happy with the results.  To see more about this project go to: Pictures

today A gave a talk in primary. he wanted to talk about,"if you' 're under nine you shouldn't play violent video games because they might make you crazy." I finally got him to compromise with a talk on service.  he 1) said he could serve his family by not paying violent video games, and 2) could serve heavenly father by not paying violent video games :).
