Scraplifters challenge

It's been awhile since I've posted the monthly scraplifter's challenge.  I was doing good for awhile and then life got in the way.  I've been wanting to scrapbook something for quite sometime but at the moment, I don't have anything.  I'm all caught up in the picture books and not much has happened this year....yet.  So I went through some file folders with photos that I didn't scrapbook digitally and found one that I thought would be a good one to do.  This is Daniel with his Great-Grandpa.  Daniel doesn't actually know his Great-Grandpa.  He died when Daniel was about 7 months old. It's one of the few pictures we have of Daniel with his Great-Grandpa. I believe Daniel is about one week old in this photo.

And another one.....What sweet children.

Ghosts

We've had a few ghosts roaming our house lately.  These ghosts are often known as "Not me" or "I didn't do it."  Today while I was cleaning the kids bathroom, Megan was brushing her teeth.  I was talking to her about the mess of the bathroom and mentioning that it is good to clean up after yourself when you splash water or get toothpaste on the counter.  The rest of the conversation went as follows:

Megan: "I didn't do it." 
Me: "That ghost must be back." 
Megan: "Maybe the ghost that made that mess is the devil.  He's a ghost." 
Me: "Maybe that ghost is wearing a blue and pink striped dress." (This is the dress Megan happened to be wearing today.)
Megan:  Pauses and thinks for a moment and then says, "I have a dress like that."

Aren't kids the greatest?

Daniel's Drive for Sweets

Tonight, mommy was cleaning out a pan of brownies, and Daniel asked why she got to eat all the chocolate still stuck to the pan. Mommy quipped, "Because I want to be fat!" Daniel quickly responded, "I want to be fat, too!" and stuck his fingers in the dish.

They're Done!

We've been working on learning the Articles of Faith since we finished the Book of Mormon. Monday night, Megan took her second attempt to pass them all off with no help. She made it!

The only person who isn't happy about it is Daniel, who missed his first shot and was jealous to tears.

Update: Daniel caught up Tuesday night, and even did it twice since Daddy forgot to record it the first time.

Sledding

The kids had their first experience in sledding. The outcome was different than expected. Megan had a blast and Daniel not so much. I think he only went down the small hill maybe five times and then he was done. We practically had to aim Megan towards the car and hope she got enough speed on the way down to land in the car.

Singing in American

At lunch today, someone at our table had a birthday. The server asked us if we would help sing to the birthday girl. My boss jokingly asked, "In what language?" The server said, "American."

Utah lost...

Then Max Hall opened his mouth...

Enough said.
