HEAVEN!

I can't believe that I skipped one of the most heavenly parts of my San Fransisco trip. Kirk took me to a fabric store that was 4 stories of amazing fabrics.

Yes that's right ladies, I just said that my HUSBAND went to a huge, amazing fabric store with me. Actually he walked there with me, and took this picture because he just had to see my reaction to a fabulous store, that he has been telling me about since I met him. Then, he walked back to the hotel to prepare for some client meetings while I browsed, and browsed. One of the best parts was that they were having a special 1 day everything in the store 30 percent off sale. It was incredible! It was like the day after Thanksgiving shopping, but for fabric. I LOVED it. And I LOVE Kirk for taking me there. Kirk told me about this store during our first conversation. Now I can say, you had me at "I know this great fabric store!"

You Can't Stab Anyone's Eyes Out With A Snuggle Animal

Tonight while laying with Finn he started talking about a friend of his who sometimes gets in trouble. He told me (with shock and outrage,) that the friend once brought a rock to the carpet time. (This is where the whole class sits really close together on a giant alphabet carpet, and reads stories etc.) I reminded him, in an attempt to restore some humility, that he once got in trouble for bringing a snuggle animal to the carpet time. He covered his eyes. Oh the shame of being in trouble. And then perked right back up to tell me that bringing a rock was much worser than bringing a snuggle animal. I asked why, and he told me that the rock was sharp and could be used to stab someones eyes out. But A SNUGGLE ANIMAL CAN'T STAB ANYONE'S EYES OUT! This last line said with much emphasis as if punctuated with a big fat DUH MOM!

So there you go. One more tidbit of wisdom from Finn McPherson. I can't imagine what has happened in Finn's life that he is measuring every object by its ability to stab someones eyes out. Yikes. Next weeks family home evening will be on Thou Shalt Not Stab Anyone's Eyes Out.

The Best Way To Tell A Secret

Today Finn woke me up from a nap and told me he had a new way to tell a secret. He cupped his hands around his mouth and then put his hands around my nose and whispered a secret. He told me that this is the best way to tell a secret, because the person can't even hear it because you whisper it right up their nostrils, and nostrils can't hear.

I wonder if this is a technique the CIA or FBI could use. He tried the same technique whispering things into my mouth and eye, but determined that the eye whisper wasn't as effective because the eye is to close to the ear. Smart boy!

Its all about the bling!

Last night while I was laying with Porter he was playing with the wedding ring on my finger. He commented on it, and I told him how I loved it. He said that I should trade my diamond in for a heart shaped one because Daddy and I are so in love. I told him that I was more of a simple, round cut girl. He told me that someday when he gets engaged he will probably give the girl he wants to marry a diamond shaped like a big Y, you know, for BYU. Then he said that maybe he would just get one of those brass knuckle BLING*BLING kind of things made out of diamonds that says BYU. I told him that if he got down on one knee and opened a jewelry box with that in it, and the girl said YES. She is definetly the ONE!

My kids crack me up!

Porter has been feeling like he needs a little extra one on one mom time lately, so tonight I asked him if he would like to go for a walk with me in the morning. He was really excited about it, and then said "this will be great, we can talk about our social lives!"
