After Bath Cuddles

Dear Mr. Stannix,

Today was a pretty good day. We miss you like crazy. The children each remember to bless you in their prayers and sometimes ask about you forgetting that your gone. We left the house just shortly after eight this morning for a grocery run. We were out of a lot of the essentials, like Milk and Eggs and things like that. The children were super good for me! They discovered the car carts which made things go quickly. Both Camilla and Hyrum "drove" the car and Joe happily bobbed up and down in the front carrier. I got lots of "Wow! Three kids!" comments while I was out. Camilla still likes to chat with everyone she sees and they enjoyed their free cookie from the bakery. 

My sister came over to keep me company for the day. We made the best pumpkin cookies ever and I loved that my house smelled like Fall. She kept teasing me while we put together the ingredients because instead of a teaspoon of this and a tablespoon of that it was a shake of this and a drizzle of that. I love baking and having fresh cookies on hand for the littles. 

Hyrum had a nice long afternoon nap and I got to play with Camilla. I got her giggling pretty good. We had a mini pillow fight and she kept trying to tickle me. The whole rest of the day she just wanted to have a pillow fight. She's so spunky and full of life that girl. I loved hearing her belly laugh and spending time with her. In the late afternoon we cranked some tunes and danced around the kitchen to pass the time. Hyrum is pretty good at grooving and I love watching his little body wiggle. Camilla shakes her hips and taps her feet pretty much to the beat. It's quite a talent. I can't wait to get her into a dance class of some sort. 

Dinner was easy peasy KD. Hyrum ate his plate clean and Camilla decided to save hers for tomorrow and forego her bedtime snack. I popped all three of 'em in the tub at the same time again. Joe was a total goof and kept standing up and giving me his scrunchy nosed smile. Whenever I would ask him to sit on his bum he would listen. It always amazes me how much they can understand at such a young age. Camilla loves helping me wash Joe's hair and back. Then we pulled the plug and I wrangled them all into their jammies and read them stories. I finally got Hyrum to sleep just after 8:30. 

Hope your days are going well and you are learning lots! We miss you and can't wait to pick you up on Thursday at the airport!
