Random Ramblings

Today for our 5th Sunday lesson our bishop was talking about how his brain is an orb with random, circular, thoughts all the time. Kris looked at me and said, "Does that remind you of anyone?" He meant himself but that is me to a T. I chalk it up to being a mom: I have 5 people to organize and their activities to keep track of, not to mention sales and coupons, FHE lessons I want to do, my food storage buying and rotation, planning my gardens ( and wishing it would stop snowing so I could get out and do something in them), visiting teaching, Enrichment, practicing piano with my kids, and of course the endless piles of laundry, dishes, cleaning and meals. Sometimes I feel like that line out of "Harry Potter" where Hermione is describing Cho's thoughts and feelings and Ron says "No one could be feeling {thinking} all of those things, they would explode." So please excuse the rambling - a few of the things on my mind.

Abi and Kris had an awesome Daddy/Daughter Activity where they made this lovely napkin holder. Abi would love to tell you how they picked out the pattern, traced it onto the wood, cut it out, sanded it (for like 3 hours), painted it and applied the rub-ons ( butterflies of course.) It now graces our dining table at mealtimes. They did such a great job and had so much fun.

Adventures in eating with Leah. These are homemade popsicles from FHE one night. Abi had created (with a little help from mom) a Scripture Bingo Game and prepared a lesson for us. Leah just had to try the popsicle and once she did she was hooked. She grabbed it and wouldn't let go.

How can one little baby get soooooo messy. When Leah is really tired she will rub her hands across her face smearing cereal from ear to ear and top of head to somewhere way down below.

I'm adding a new link to my sites to save me money. It is a link to "Coupons by Dede." Unfortunately the Post Register is not carrying the Red Plum or Proctor and Gamble inserts until July. So in order to get those coupons you can order them through her site. It seems really reasonable and you can stock up on those great Pantene coupons.

Lastly, I'm really excited for my upcoming Jerusalem Center Reunion. I have my skirt almost finished and I'm getting my hair done this week. However I still haven't located a babysitter in Provo to watch Leah for the 3 hours during dinner. Sooooo if you have a sister, cousin, or friend living in Provo who would like to watch an adorable 10 month old and earn a little extra cash, please leave me a comment. Thanks.
