Mom, don't you have a meeting this morning?

Jonny asked me this morning if I had a meeting. I typically do, so he was really just wondering why I was home. I get to be the YW President in our ward and have a morning meeting three of the four Sundays each month. (Besides, the usual 3 hour block.) I don't have any extra meetings on the 5th Sunday.

Layne's calling is Elders Quorum President, so he has two of the same meetings I do on Sunday mornings. Today, he had a meeting at 9, was home for a few minutes and left for another meeting that started at 11. He was home long enough for us to get out the door for the regular Sunday meetings we go to and now has three individuals/groups of people he's meeting with lined up. Megan was just asking about where Daddy was and why we weren't eating yet. I told her he had more meetings. She responded with, "Tell all those people to stop meeting with him!". It made me laugh. We're not used to Dad being gone all day on Sundays while we're home. It's odd for me because I'm used to having the meetings while Layne is home. I'm sure he's glad that there's not another 5th Sunday coming up in awhile! All of his meetings were administrative...he still get to do the ministering part.

The cool thing is...he's the one that got dinner taken care of...it's simmering in the crock pot right now. Yep...he's a keeper.

Does she know something???

Rachel has told me a couple of times in the past week or so that we need to have another girl in our family. I'm not sure where she's getting her info. Do you think she knows some thing the rest of us don't?

Hi-Ho the Dario...

The girls and I were listening to a cd of nursery rhymes earlier today. Megan asked me..."Mom, what's a dario?". I didn't have an answer. As a parent, are you supposed to make up an answer if you don't have one?:} Truthfully - I had never even considered her question before. The idea she came up with is that it's a really big barn. Hmm...at least it's in context.

I have had a question since then - how do you spell 'dario'? Is it like I have been spelling it...as it Mario? (My boys would be proud!) Or, is it dareo...like oreo? Or, maybe it's dairy-o because part of the meaning might have some to do with dairy? Such are the questions of life...

Can't Forget The Boys

I just realized the last couple of posts have been about the girls - so, thought I'd better throw something in about the boys too.

Jacob just finished Cub Scouts. The troop here does a cool thing, where they put everything the scout has earned on one 'skin'. It's pretty cool. Here's Jacob with his. Way to go, Jake!
Jonny loves a story. Here he is with one of the 'Warriors' books - currently one of his favorite series. He loves to read to anyone who will sit with him and listen. He also loves to share the stories he creates with anyone who will lend an ear.
