Tropical Glow

Last night Joren asked me what is the worst mess Juni has ever made? We laughed and talked about the brown sugar incident, and the time she spread butter on all the countertops and the lipstick on the neighbors garage door, and the marker zebra stripes all over her body and I said "I just can't decide, there are too many! The funny part is that while we were talking Juni had disappeared.  I started searching the house, and guess where I found her? She was in my closet covered head to toe and my make up. She used up two entire saucers of blush rubbing them into every part of her body that she can reach. She was extremely proud of herself.  I put her in the tub. After 1/2 pack of wet wipes, make up remover, lots of scrubbing, draining the water, scrubbing the tub, new water and more scrubbing. I got her out and she was thrilled that she was still sparkly all over. The ONE time I forgot to put my make up in the top of my closet! 

"The ladies are all over me"

We are watching Gigi for the week. Gigi and Roxy love  to play with Juni and Teig. Teig is really good at getting them worked up and having fun with them.  I loved when Teig said through peels of laughter:  "Mom, The ladies are all over me!" 
Teig age 5 1/2

Eirik in primary

In primary sharing time this week a member of the bishopric was teaching about the sacrament. Eirik seriously raised his hand and offered the comment that he believed that it would be more symbolic if we ate gingerbread men cookies and ketchup for sacrament to more closely represent Christs' body and blood. I don't think anyone knew what to say. There was an akward pause and then a swift subject change. 

Later I had adults come up to tell me how much they love Eirik's way of thinking. I admire him for his mature observations!
