Elsa's World

I love this age. It is so fun that she can talk so I can have glimpses of her world. Here are just a few.


Elsa grabbed her brother's drink and ran over to me explaining that she wanted some. She proceeded to tell me I am the guy in charge. I guess I am in charge of fair drink distribution in her mind.


I made grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch to which she exclaimed, "Mmmmmm, Mommy, I love toasty cheese sandwich".


Later, she brought me an orange saying, "I can't peel it but your claws are big enough to peel it". I do need to clip my nails.


Last night, as she came out of the bath she explained, "I can't brush my teeth, I'm too naked."

Electronic Music

Cross Talk electronic music concert was interesting. I'm glad I experienced it. Extremely dissonant. Did I like it? I don't know, what is "like" anyway? Are we trained to like certain things?


What I liked best about the concert as that it made me think. The piece that spoke to me most was the only one composed by a female. Hmmm. I love that it was a great conversation starter for our date.



The Parthenon

In school this morning we have been learning about Athens. We watched a film on the building of the Parthenon and the kids built their own versions of the Parthenon out of Play Dough.

Family Life

We went to Jumping Jacks again today. Yesterday was fun but I think today may have been even more of a blast! There is nothing like hanging out with the boys in boys club. Bryce, Alex and Nathan are such quality boys. I am so glad we get to spend time with them.

Joseph made friends with a girl after fighting with her for about ten minutes. As we were leaving, he asked if I would get her phone number.

After Jumping Jacks, we went to Arctic Circle for some ice cream. I was freezing but the kids were hot from jumping. I should get up and jump with them. Maybe after the baby comes I will.

In the bathtub this evening, Elsa discovered that she can jump swim. This is achieved by laying on her stomach and pushing off the side of the tub with her legs so it launches her forward. She ducked her head in the water and once again explained that it wasn't so bad. This time she didn't congratulate herself. It sure is cute when she does.

Elsa is wrapped in a towel saying, "I am a package." Joseph who is dying to have her explore his Lego ship keeps asking her if he can unwrap the head of the package. Cute kids. They really do need to go to bed.

She is a bit of a tattletale. She just came to me and asked me to tell JoJo that his bed is for sharing.

Andy just got back from his voice lesson. I love how happy he is when he comes home. I think he has made it his mission to help me sing better. Good Luck to him.

Elsa's Family Home Evening Prayer

This evening in Family Home Evening, Elsa prayed, "Hevenly Father, we're thankful that bad guys don't kill us because that is really nice."

Joseph's Cupcakes

Posted by Picasa Sweet Joseph decided to make cupcakes for Jetta Cloward and the families that Andy home teaches. The bottom right cupcake is a guy diving into a swimming pool. I love Joseph's creations.
