So I forgot to mention something funny Boston said last night. At dinner he whispered in Ben's ear "I have a girlfriend, don't tell anyone". As soon as he said that, he said really loud, "Whoa, I'm glad you didn't tell anyone I have a girlfriend". So much for him understanding a secret. So when I put him to bed I said "Tell me about this girlfriend, whats her name?" He told me he didn't know and I asked him how he got talking with her. He said "Mom! I haven't talked to her yet. I just saw her and thought she would make a good girl fiend. I'm to shy to talk to her." I tried so hard not to laugh until I got out of his bedroom.
Today was nice. My Mom told me to take a day to myself while she stayed home with Sophia and Ethan. I left around 10 and headed to the Nail Club to get a pedicure. I love going during the day b/c its not busy. After my pedicure I headed to the mall. I ate at my favorite place, Paradise Bakery, and then did some serious shopping. There were some great deals! Good thing b/c I was in desperate need of jean carpi's and had to splurge big time at the Buckle. I never spend more than 40 dollars on jeans, but I couldn't find jean carpi's anywhere else (that fit me), so I decided "what the heck, might as well go for it". Now watch, I'll lose 10 pounds in the next couple of weeks. ha! Oh, I also was able to find beads for bracelets I have to put together for a YW function. I have been looking all over for them and finally found them on sale at the mall. Glad to finally mark that off my list. Now I just have to take them apart and redesign them...but that's the fun part!
Ethan did well today. He did all of his chores and made his bed so nice and was so excited to show me. I gave him lots of praise and told him what a good bed maker he was. I guess that got him motivated b/c he then said "I'm going to make Boston's bed so he can be so happy". What a sweetie (when he wants to be:). The kids did well when they got home. I started this new thing this week where I put on the BYU radio network when the kids get home from school. Ben and I have really noticed a difference. It really sets the tone, and it's a little harder to yell at the kids when you hear church music in the background:)
Tonight I got wonderful news. I got a call that I needed to see the Bishop tonight, and I knew it had to be for new calling. I was praying so hard that it would be in YW, but I wasn't counting on it since I was just released from there 6 months ago. I figured it was to be a primary teacher, since I mentioned that I would love that calling and they are really desperate in that area. So I was so shocked that I was called back in with the Laurels, as an advisor. Not only do I get to serve w/ the girls I love so much but also with one of my best friends. Can't get better than that.
When I got home Ben had to leave for a church meeting, and so I was flying solo... giving baths, reading, helping Aubrie study, feeding the baby and putting her down, saying prayers, etc..
Whew!! It's just tiring typing all of that, nevertheless doing it. Kids are sure a lot of work, but I wouldn't have my life any other way.
