Honestly it is all about the little things. I am pretty sure that all I need in life is a full tummy and somebody to make jokes. Good thing both of those are pretty easy to come by. And it's a good thing that I laugh at just about every joke.
This weekend Kenn got baptized. It took about everything in me not to sit in front of the font with all the other kids under 5. (but like i'm only twenty....and not married.) It was really fun to see Kennadee's excitement through the weekend. She is such a cutie. Saturday night I overheard her singing primary songs in her room because she had just gotten a mini primary song book. It just melted my heart.
One of the most memorable things from my baptism was a picture frame I received with notes written all around it. So I wanted to do the same thing for Kenn. Naturally I found mine and made her take a pic. She was insisting for like 3 minutes that she wear her plastic vampire teeth in the picture. Like she wanted nothing more in life then to wear those darn things and this is me pleading with her to take a normal pic. For posterity sake...you know?
All weekend long I had to keep making her promise me that she didn't hate me. I had the honors of braiding her hair for the baptism and let me tell you this girl HATES having her hair touched let alone brushed through. So you can imagine the pre-baptism pep talk. "don't hate me, okay. do you hate me?" Then I would say "I love you" and give her a big wet kiss on the cheek pretending that she isn't a mature 8-year-old who doesn't like that stuff anymore.
Ethan discovered that the tramp was taken down so instead we raked up the leaves just so we could jump in them and scatter them all over the lawn once again. Sorry grandpa. ;)
Saturday evening I accompanied some of my siblings on a perfectly good date night. You guys I am such a good 5th wheel, it's not even funny. Dinner and a movie though? I am all over that especially when Mike and chels owed me a movie. (they made me birthday coupons and it has been all the laughs lately. Every time we're together I pull another one out. Such a great gift, i'm telling you. And it forces them to hang out with me.) my siblings are the best for 3rd, 5th, 7th, or even 9th wheeling. And I don't even think they mind very much. because let's be real, I'm way fun to be around. HAH
To top off my weekend we partied at the newlyweds perfect cottage on Sunday night. Tay and Stephen are leaving logan in just a couple of weeks. I am beginning to feel very uneasy about the whole thing. Why don't people work around my time schedule and my needs? I'm way selfish. Anyway, I just really love these kids. They are my family away from home.
And my friends are babes right?
Also this semester has less weeks then fingers on my right hand. One more final push and maybe I'll make it. Part one of year number three is almost complete. ahhhh
