Kids on the loose!
November 17, 2007 | Kid Brag
The reality of Luis Benjamin working two jobs has finally set in. Last night, when I was reading books to Lily (and thought little Ben was in the room listening), I ran into the kitchen to discover lil’ Ben had emptied the bottle of olive oil into our junk drawer. Then tonight, Lily got a bloody nose from doing gymnastics on the couch cushion fort they had made in the living room. Keeping my sanity has been difficult (and expensive from all the ibuprofen I have to take 
), but then we were singing primary songs together to go to sleep. They are precious. By the way, Lily bravely did her solo. She did forget the words to the second line, and we hadn’t practiced that part because I didn’t know she sang it too. But she had her speaking part memorized and rattled it off with Pagan perfection. She has also become the example in her gymnastics class for the smaller children and is learning to read. Benjamin talks more and more everyday and is learning to clean up and do chores (hopefully). we recently went to my grandma’s in St. Louis and he played with the farm kittens non-stop. He justs hugs and kisses them.
love you all, Julie

I wish Ben wouldn’t work in a convenience store. Can’t you possibly make it without that? Not any of my business, I know, but danger lurks in those stores. We pray for Ben’s safety of course. And, you, julie, are bearing a hard brunt of it, too. Alone with the kids most of the time can’t be too much fun. I am tickled that Lily knew her part in Sacrament, and that she sang. I wish I could have been there. So, little Ben has been oiling up your drawers with stuff, huh? Kids can scare you continually. Teyla scares the daylights out of me bouncing on our bed.
