Mommy Moments

I was folding laundry and William said:

What if all of our clothes turned into bees?

ME: That would be great! Then they would all fly away and I wouldn’t have to fold them!

WWB:  Then we would be naked all the time! Actually I would have to just wear this uniform over and over.

ME: Did you know that in the olden days people had just one pair of work clothes and sometimes one pair of church clothes?

WWB: With great enthusiasm, “They had clothes that could go to church for them???”

Yesterday I drove for Lizzie’s field trip. She was so happy to have me along! And she held my hand all day as we toured the capital and the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Museum.  I felt honored by her attention and excitement.

Anna has been such a joy lately. She started Ballet (she calls it her “Tippy Toes” Class) and loves it so much! The only thing she doesn’t like is that the other girls don’t talk to her during class. I think we have another social butterfly in the family. I told her that they were there to dance and that the teacher doesn’t really want them to chit-chat during class. So she replied with a plan, “I know! When the snow melts we can go to ballet class early with all the other girls and sit on the grass and talk to each other!” 

I love this picture of Anna in the snow. I had her all bundled up in her snow clothes. She got really warm shoveling all that snow and so she went inside while I was shoveling (for the third time that day) and changed into the most natural thing in the world for snow playing…a princess dress! I especially love the look- princess dress, snow boots and a yellow shovel.
