The Last Few Weeks

These are some of the events of the last few weeks.

A few weeks ago Tori started expressing her emotions in writing. One afternoon I came downstairs to post it notes ALL over the main floor with pictures and words trying to inform the general public that "Shimmer's birthday party is cancelled." Apparently her time out got in the way of the big shindig for her stuffed unicorn's big 5th bday.

A few days later I told her that she couldn't watch a movie, that she needed to do some homework, etc...a few minutes later I received this:

This is only one page of the two page letter. It says "No High School Musical 3 because Mommy does not love Tori." Gee...I love you too.

We had the Monsons over for dinner and games, and found the girls upstairs like this. In about 10 years, this will be the girls getting ready for dances. Scary!

During Stake Conference, there were some very important quotes. During the sustaining of stake officers, I had to stand, and Lizzie said "Mother, it is time for you to sit down NOW!"

Sophie: "Tom, what is this?"

Tom: "It's a bulldozer."

Sophie: "Jenn, its a poop lizard."

Lizzie: (with two fingers raised) "Mom, Lily is coloring with 3 markers, this many, FIVE!" Huh?

Owen loves plums. He got Lizzie's plum from Papa, and I didn't dare pry it out of his little fingers. He ate every last bite!
