Imagination

My kids have the greatest imagination. It cracks me up to listen in on them playing and "imagining" that they are on a boat and one of them falls into the water while the other throws them a rope and pulls them back to safety. They could do this for hours.....well, at least an hour. :o) I love to hear them come up with something new to imagine. Oh, and someone is always Melissa and someone is always Aaron. Clever kids.

Today was a very very busy Saturday. I wish I could say that made me happy because usually I enjoy a day that is full of things we 'have' to do together on a Saturday, but my darn wrist is still hurting from my fall over 3 weeks ago and I was just kinda a grouch, fighting kids to cooperate perfectly so I could baby my hand as much as possible. Of course, when they didn't cooperate perfectly, I was just a grouch. Enough said. On a better note though, Nathan had a much better soccer game today. Didn't shed one single tear. Hooray! Plus, he almost made a goal. He also picked the ball up with his hands during the game. It was pretty funny.


Today was also our Ward Fall Harvest. I just have to say our ward is the greatest at putting on a party. They really do go above and beyond to make it such a fun time. What makes it so great is that everyone seems to be so supportive and creative. I mean, our neighbors even brought one of their chickens in a cage along with her eggs! There was a chili cookoff, pie contest, different pumpkin eats, and some yummy things made with zucchini. And my attempt at making a peach pie 3 times paid off because it won for best tasting pie! The pan was licked clean. There was also face painting, train rides, balloon animals, donuts on a string, bubble gum blowing contest, plasma car racing, corn tossing, country dancing performed by some of our darling young girls in the ward, and a fabulous fiddle by one of my neighbors. Really, truly, it is the greatest ward ever. So much talent. Such wonderful people. And now I am tired. G'night.

This is my favorite picture of the week. I could eat her up she is so darling to me!
