Quote of the Day, part XLIV

Me, during Family Home Evening: "How can we repent of 'persecuting your brother'?"
William: "Pick me! I just barely did it!"

Jacob, when I showed him the twin coverlet I had purchased for his bed right before we moved:
"I like that. Whoa, wait! Are we really going to get beds that big?"
Me, thinking that this boy has been sleeping on a camping cot on the floor for entirely too long.
This move didn't come a day too early!

Sleep

Will said he only wanted a banana for lunch.  I gave him the banana, we said prayers, then I finished making the pb/js.  By the time I had trotted over to the table to serve the other midgets, this is how much he had eaten:
"Will?  Willy, are you there?"
So I carried him bed.  Jimmer (as he is now called by his brothers) and Audrey finished up and I sent them up to bed.  I tidied up from lunch then went to check on them.  Apparently, this one couldn't summon the strength to get all the way there.

And finally, Michael saw this picture that Clara took of her sister and said, "Yikes, isn't that that possessed doll from those horror movies?"

Wow . . . how do you tire them out so completely? I would love to know your secret. Mine are so wired most of the time that it's rare that I get all of the nappers to bed on the same day . . . and that's without any sugar!

What a beautiful family you have!! So fun to see your boys at this age!! By the way, we got a dog too. Never thought that it could be attributed to a nervous break down, but now I feel relived that I can blame it on that! Hope you are doing well!

The doll looks beautiful and real peaceful.
