Ashlyn Says

She was running and tripped on the cement tonight. Her knees and palms were scraped up.

"Today was the worst day of my night."

When questioned about the odd quote she said, "Well it happened at night so it makes sense."

Magic Shows for Kindergarten

Brian was doing magic shows at the kindergarten parties. He asked for volunteers and a girl comes up. He tells her to stir up the magic pot and say the magic words. She looks at him and says, "no." Kinda a show stopper.

Be Like the Van

Driving home today feom the Moellers, there were storm clouds just as we were entering Texas.

Ashlyn asked why the GPS changed to night mode. I explained the van detected it was dark outside so it said, "Time to turn on the lights."

Ashlyn responded, "The van didn't say anything, it just did it."

Angie jumped in by responding, "Thats how it should be. We should all be like the van-Don't say anything, just do what needs to be done."

Police Chase with the Bus

Lots of neighborhood cars keep ignoring the flashing red lights and protruding STOP sign on the bus. They pull out and around the school bus, passing the bus while it's actively loading and unloading kids. One day when Meggie the regular driver picked up Jacob and Ashlyn in the morning she said a cop car must be trying to catch those people because it had been following her the entire route.

Ashlyn's said this when she got off the bus in the afternoon:
The police followed us all the way around Legends Ranch today on the bus. Then we got away. We went really fast out the back gate so the police can't find us anymore.

I think she thought the bus driver escaped the police.

Talking in Church

Over lunch we were discussing the building a new LDS church building and who would have to move to it and if the ward would split again.

Madison: Isn't a small ward good? Because then you'd know everyone.
Ben: But then you have to speak a lot in church.
Madison: I already talk a lot in church. But mom shushes me.

Don't Skip Bible Study

I had a doctor appointment today that ran long making me late for Institute/Bible Study. I decided to skip it and go to Sam's Club nearby. I then bought chocolate chip muffins which I shouldn't do because then I eat them. At home I ate a chocolate muffin for my lunch instead of something healthy. I ate it in the office which is completely against the house rules but no children were home so I did it anyway. I thought I saw a chocolate chip fall but I couldn't find it. Hours later I find brown squishy stuff smeared on the chair which means it's on my bum too. I wash it off with a wet rag and now I'm wet like I peed my pants.

The moral of the story is DON'T SKIP BIBLE STUDY or you'll end up with poopy wet pants and a muffin top belly.

It's Not a Democracy

Aug 31, 2017

I'm calling it a evacu-vaction here in Nauvoo. It's been fun. The day began yesterday as we walked to the first thing with this quote from Jacob, "Next time we go on a family trip can we take a vote so more than just mom and dad want to go where we go for the trip?"

Our family is not a democracy kid.
