Sunday I had this brillant idea to make mini blank books for the boys that they could use during Sacrament meeting to write a story in. I thought we'd use less paper that way and that it would keep them quiet. So, I made the books, threw them in my diaper bag with a couple pens and we headed for church. As soon as the Sacrament had been passed, I handed each of the boys their book and pen and told them to "write me a story."
"What kind of story?" Noah wanted to know.
"A Halloween story. . . anything. Whatever you like. Just be quiet."
And it worked. They were quiet the entire time except for once when Denver asked how much time he had left and got a little upset because he didn't think he'd have time to finish his story. After the closing prayer, Noah proudly handed me his book and stated, "I didn't have time to finish. I'll finish it later."
One look at the title page and I knew that while my plan had kept them quiet, it hadn't necessarily kept them reverent. Here. . . see for yourself. It's pretty funny (if you know Noah at all) but it wasn't exactly the kind of story I was hoping for. Maybe next time I'll suggest a Christmas story. . . .
Poop on the Floor Mystery
I found poop on the floor.
"Poop!" I shouted. No one answered. I guess they're pumpkins.
"How, how, how can this have happened? Poop on the floor?"
"What? I I I just saw something." So I went. . .
to the next room and I saw a ghost!
It pooped again! Good. . . I had green on. (Apparently Hunter and Noah have heard that ghosts are afraid of the color green. Who knew?) "Oooooooooooooo" said the ghost.
Maybe butter will hurt it. (Notice Noah's nice butter belt. Whoever heard of butter being used as a weapon anyway? I guess Noah has.)
