Picture of Dear Daradie sleeping. She can't just sleep with one or two and have them half-hazardly strewn about but she won't fall asleep until they are ALL lined up, facing out and sitting up straight. She makes me pooped just watching her "prep" for bed.
Just tonight while in her bedroom she was reading to me while I was adjusting her lamp. In the process, I moved her radio from her drawers to her bookshelves, bumped over 13 books she had lined up dominoe style on shelves, knocked down 5 rolls of the leftover toilet paper roll that she claims is going to be used as a snowman craft, stepped on her Hello Kitty slippers that were placed precisely by her bedside on the floor on top of a lacey pillow that was on top of a blanket that is now her "rug" and tripped and grabbed onto her scarf that was pinned to her cork board with 4 push pins and sharing 4 more push pins with her Home Depot wood shop apron. (Earlier this morning we had a discussion about push pins and booby traps. Push pins need to be in the cork board and not on the floor in the doorways of bathrooms, stairs and Koen's bedroom and that no one in this house is a spy and no dangerous booby traps allowed.) Back to the 30 second lamp adjustment.....After grabbing on the scarf I smashed her old science fair poster board that was converted into a shower for her doll using strings pulled from her pom-poms, several rolls of scotch tape and a pencil. All that before saying in exasperation, "I wish you'd just put things away instead of decorating everything you get your hands on!" (And then insert guilt of previous comment and wishing there were "take backs.")
Which leads me to things like above. That girl soaks things in. Seriously. That's Joseph Smith and the first vision. Notice what Joseph is saying, "Wow!" And then she explained to me that she would feel just like Joseph in her picture, "Wow! Just wow that I could see Heavenly Father. I wouldn't know what else to say but 'Wow!'" She asked me where she could read about Joseph in the scriptures. I showed her. She kept reading for awhile and then moved onto the Ensign magazine and read that until dinner. She gave a beautiful family home evening lesson of the first vision.And that's what I have to say about Dear Daradie, "Wow! Just wow!"

Wow! is right.
Oh, and my girls bedroom, it's about the same.
wow! that is a great picture. I like how she has the brown hair and the grey hair. One must always differentiate between the older and younger.. Oh and the whole decorating with everything and being sooo creative must run in the family. My house has been such a mess lately. Most of what I consider the "mess" is simply someone's house or map, or heaven forbid I just wrecked the city that was built in the t.v. room
I'm very impressed!
got caught up on all you blogging, you don't have to tell us you have awsome kids, we already know it. But what can you expect they have great parents, that's also were they always get the weird questions. Love ya, G/G W
