bumps


When Lucas sits on the toilet to do his thing he tends to talk a lot. Actually, he talks a lot all day long. This morning while in the bathroom he yells to me in a suddenly irritated voice "Mom, why did you want bumps on my finger?" Through some dialogue I realize he is talking about the two warts on his finger. "Why do you think I want you to have bumps on your finger?" I asked.
He then still totally bothered says, "You took me to the doctor to have him put bumps on me.

A year ago I took Lucas to the dermatologist to have the warts frozen off and he is now remembering it in the reverse. So far there is no convincing him otherwise.



Monday night I made a seriously delicious apple pie. My kids will not even try it. Now I find myself eating very good pie for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The last thing my body needs.


Why did I not think of this? Sunday after church the kids came home and played a game of putting scotch tape over their mouth and not talking. This resulted in playing quietly with muffled giggles. We should have played this game during church. The boys were asked about seven times by me and twice by a man sitting behind them to keep it down during sacrament meeting.




Isaac created a scavenger hunt for me after he finished playing the scotch tape game. I noticed I only took photos of a few clues. The prize at the end of the hunt was a caramel taped to the shower door and 00000's- as in 0X0X0X0 (hugs & kisses).

What a funny story about Lucas! He always makes me laugh.
Yes, what a beautiful pie. I could enjoy some of that for breakfast also.
Your children look so grown up in that last picture. I hope we get to see you all again soon.

Man, you are crazy with that pile of fabric and that amazing pie. Why do we live like one million miles apart?? I'd come eat pie and get sewing elbow with you, all the day long. And our seven children could tape their mouths shut, and we could be the ones giggling. I miss you.

Wow. I would love to pull up a chair, grab a fork and help you eat that pie. I would willingly bring my kids and an extra roll of scotch tape along, too.

One more thing, there is a scavenger hunt gene after all!
