Our Weekend

Saturday, Matt, Kayleigh and I went on another field trip to the Golden Spike National Historic Site. Kayleigh enjoyed seeing the locomotives, the engine house cat named B.C. (Black Cat) and eating dirty snow off the ground. The exciting part of the trip was when Matt got pulled over by a policeman for going 76 in a 65mph zone. He only got a warning, but got a ticket for having an expired license. Had we been thinking clearly, we would have taken a picture of them together for the blog!

Last night we had FHE. We've been teaching lessons out of the new Nursery manual in an attempt to get Kayleigh to participate. (She went through a phase where she'd stay downstairs hollering that she doesn't like FHE.) She totally didn't get the whole "obey" part. When we were done, we were trying to get her to settle down for the closing prayer and she kept running around. Matt reached out for her and she ran across the room yelling, "Don't obey me! Don't obey me!"

I/we are putting together a family time capsule. Of course, I have to turn everything into a "project." It can't just be a dumb ol' time capsule, - it has to be cool! We recently found one in a box in the storage room that Jenny had done in 6th grade and forgotten about. It was to be opened in 2008 (we barely found it a few days before the end of the year). She thought it was fun to see and couldn't remember even putting some of the things in it that she did. The kids seem to like the idea, except for the cooperating part...
