Today has been a great day! I woke up just before 7:00am to warm Hyrum a bottle. While he inhaled his bottle, I studied my scriptures on the couch, and soon the whole house was rockin'. As I made breakfast, Hyrum pulled out all my cookie sheets. I went over to rescue him and the honey bottle fell onto my grill and melted. I had to wipe it down and start again. When Mr. Stannix finished his shower we had heart-shaped pig in a poke, or egg in a basket, or toad in a hole. Everyone calls it something different. We are still debating between egg in a basket or pig in a poke.
The sun seems to be coming up earlier now. As I looked out our balcony this morning our deck was sparkling in the sunlight. Camilla begged me to let her outside, but it didn't last long. She checked out the snowman (who by the way is quickly losing weight on the one side) and kicked her ball around a bit and then came in to play with Hyrum.
When the kids went down for their nap this afternoon I sorted Hyrum's old clothes into a big box labeled Newborn - 6 Months. There is one newborn outfit in particular that made me instantly want another one! I always find it a little bit sad boxing up clothes that are too small, it means my kids are growing up too fast!
Last Friday I took the kiddos to Strathcona Library for Hyrum's little program. I could only find metered parking, and didn't want to walk far with the kids, so metered it was. I got out, got the kids out, and then put the coins in the parking meter. Camilla burst into tears because she thought the parking meters were candy machines and wanted her jelly beans before we went inside. Silly girl. So we had a mini lesson on parking meters in the cold winters air and THEN went in to the library.
Yesterday Camilla was sitting on her Daddy's knee and watching a quick video. I walked in part way through. At the end a picture of the temple was shown and Camilla looked up at us and said, "I'm going to the temple someday. Im'a get married in the temple". It was really sweet to hear her say that to us as she continued to talk about how her Daddy and I were going to go with her too and some other stuff that got jumbled in. She has a picture of the temple by her bed and sometimes after stories we talk about the temple and how we are together forever.
I am so glad that I get to teach them simple lessons like this as we go about our day to day activities. We are constantly learning and growing together, and it's wonderful!

Putting clothes away that are too small is the worst! I did that a few months ago and sat there bawling my eyes out. I had to laugh about Camilla and Her jelly beans, She's so cute about them!
