Jake: "Mom, did you know that families are forever and that kitchen boots bring families together?"
Me: "Kitchen boots? What's a kitchen boot?"
Jake: "I don't know."
When I asked him where he had heard that, he said that he saw it at Auntie Dana and Uncle Derek's house. Upon further investigation, apparently Dana and Derek have a sign that says "Kitchens Bring Families Together" in their kitchen, but Jake was certain that it was "Kitchen boots" for a while.
Tonight we were lying on the family room floor playing board games and Rachel laid on top of my back. She put her head down and said, "Mama, you are just like a pillow. A big soft, squishy pillow." She then laid on Steve and called him a couch.

Dropshots password
I have decided to put a password on my dropshots account (pics of the kids). A couple friends of mine have had pics stolen from theirs and I am not feeling comfortable leaving it unprotected anymore. I will send out an email to everyone that I know of who looks at it, if I miss you, please email me and I will tell you what the password is! Thanks!!
P.S. For now I am going to leave this blog and my Project 365 blog the way they are. Eventually, I may set them to private also, we shall see...

Irritated
I. AM. SO. MAD.
Jake is in the school play this year. The director is a lady from my ward at church and she asked me (after play practices had already begun) if Jake would like a non-speaking part since they needed someone about his age to fill a part. I asked Jake and he was really excited about it. This started the chaos. I have never known from day one when exactly his practices were. The director told me that she would email me the info, but I never saw anything. I got numerous calls from the school saying, "Jake thought he had play practice, but he didn't, he needs someone to come and get him." The teacher and secretary must think I am a complete nut case. Can't even keep track of my kid.
When school started up after Christmas break, I figured I would hear from her when the practices were starting up again, so I just waited and didn't send him. Yesterday at church, I grabbed her and asked. Here is our conversation.
Me:"Hey, does Jake have play practice this week anytime?"
Her:"Oh yeah, he missed them last week, he was supposed to be there. He has practice all week this week and dress rehearsal is on Friday, you have his costume, right?"
Me;"Uh...no. I hadn't heard anything about it and I don't even know WHEN the play is."
Her:"Oh, um, well, that's because I never added you to my email list. We have the performances next week (Wed, Jan 21 and Thurs, Jan.22)"
She then gives me the practice info and tell me that the costumes are available on Target.com, but have been sold out for the most part. I guess there is a pattern that is similar enough to the store bought ones that I can make. She emailed the costume lady's name to us today.
So now, I am kind of upset. I mean, I am not trying to be a space cadet, but when someone tells me that she will email me the info any time we talk about it, I figure that when she needs to let me know of something, she will. I didn't push it or want to bug her by calling repeatedly. So now I am trying to figure out how to get Jakey a costume by Friday. I haven't heard back from the official costume lady yet. I do know that when I was talking to the director before about costumes, they were gonna be 50 dollars and that wasn't even for the whole costume. Ugh! I don't have 50 bucks floating around to buy a costume for a play that my child doesn't even speak in!
NUNCA JAMAS!!!!! (Never again!)

Rachie-isms
Two Rachie funnies for today:
We are driving in the van over to a friend's house to drop something off this morning. I was listening to the radio and Rachel was playing with her pony in the back quietly. All of a sudden I hear:
Rachel: "Mom, I am squeezing my bum."
Me: "Oh, ok, why, do you need to go potty?"
Rachel: "No, I just like squeezing my bum."
She is so matter of fact about things like that! LOL!
A bit later we were at IKEA having lunch with Nana. After Nana had left to go back to work, Rachel was sitting there looking at a little flip photo album thing they have on each table with ads and other stuff like that in them. One of the pictures was advertising a sale, and had a woman on it who looked like she might be Polynesian, she had dark skin and black hair. Rachel got really excited and said, "Look Mom! She is just like Johnny Lingo!"
My child is awesome!

Project 365
I started a fun new adventure this year. It is called Project 365. Basically, I take a picture of something every day for a year. That way, I can look back and remember the little things that happened. I am excited about it. I tend to forget life's little joys and feel like everything is going wrong. I am hoping that his will help me to become more optimistic about life!

Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam!
Today was Rachie's first day as a Sunbeam in Primary! She was really excited and had a wonderful time. She told me that she liked singing songs and sitting by her friend Kayla. I am in complete denial because I can not believe she is big enough for Primary already!! Before church, she was SO excited to get ready and go! She took her scriptures, and wore her new necklace that has the 2009 Primary theme on it.
