Friday Letters


                   We just throw our kids down into a cave when they misbehave. It works great.

Dear Children, I think we have officially reached the "I'm bored" stage. School starts next week. Dear Laundry, you have been washed 3 times and you are still in the washer... Dear Burn, just so there is no confusion, curling iron's with no handle thingy are really hot. And that glove that comes with them? You should use it. A split second and the slight brush on your finger can give such a long lasting burning sensation. Oh and a pretty blister. Dear Ice Caves, having 3 kids jump out of the car and run down the trail wasn't cool. We spent a good chunk of time looking for them. Luckily they stayed on the trail and did something to make me proud, they said a prayer. Climbing so far down was pretty cool. Literally also, my hands were freezing. I thought I would be claustrophobic, but it didn't seem to bother me. It was fun. Dear Dreams, I would prefer not to dream about scorpions all night. This house has a ton! Dear Headache, you are my life's curse. You almost did me in, but you eventually gave up the battle. Although I always seem to feel like I just came out of battle the next day. Dear Glitter, after the little girls "did crafts" there is a sparkle in every room of the house. It goes with you when you leave even. We had to shake off our blanket in my room. Dear Layton, Happy Birthday! I couldn't be more proud of you. I admire your dedication to serving the Lord. And I'm a little bit jealous that you are so close to Lake Tahoe. Dear Will, I love you...still. Ha. You are my best friend and I couldn't imagine living without you. Dear Self, going to the temple every week has been such a blessing for me. Always that place of calm for me. I've needed it a lot lately.
