My routine in the morning is to get up, get the kids off to school, then get dressed and make my bed. One morning Hyrum came to me right after I got the kids off to school and proudly announced that he had made my bed because he saw it wasn't done. Here's a picture of his handiwork.
I'm proud of him for wanting to help out!
Amy has recently learned to open doors. This has brought her greater independence whether we want it or not. We now have to lock the front door and we have to lock her bedroom door at night to keep her in (then we unlock it after she falls asleep). Saturday morning I happened to see her coming out of her room when she got up. She marched over to the stairs and with her hands on her hips yelled, "Hey guys...I get awaked!"
Today Hyrum said, "I know when we die...when the calendar runs out."
Friday Leah and I had a mom/daughter date scheduled to give ourselves manicures/pedicures. While we relaxed Jared helped the other kids paint their faces. We did that because at a recent school carnival, Hyrum really wanted his face painted but the line was forever long. I talked him into skipping it at the carnival and doing it at home. The funny thing was that after Jared spent a long time on his face, Hyrum wanted to immediately wash it off because he didn't like how it felt. Funny kid!

I'm impressed by the artists behind the face painting and the mani/pedicures! What a fun night for the kids. I am still laughing about the previous post. Funny, the things kids say. Hope you guys are doing great!
Hyrum is such a sweet boy - so thoughtful. And that's so fun you and Leah had a girls night! I'm cracking up at Amy's comment about being "awaked." I really need to start writing down some of the things Carter says that are funny because I forget them an hour later!
That's so nice of Hyrum. And I love the nails- you need to come out here and do some mani/pedis! :)
The calendar runs out....snort!
