Tracing Hands

Yesterday at church I was sitting next to Marcus (6), tracing the lines in his palm.

I said, "Why do you think those lines are there?"

He replied, "When Jesus made me, that is where he sewed me up."

Leatherby's Coupons

We love ice cream. We also love eating ice cream at Leatherby's. We also love using coupons to eat ice cream at Leatherby's. My mother-in-law, knowing I will try to use a coupon ANYWHERE, handed me several Leatherby's coupons one day and said, "I figured you could probably use these." I was thrilled, of course. The next time Matt and I took the kids to Leatherby's, I pulled out the coupons and showed Matt our good fortune. He said they looked just like the coupons that he would get when he worked at Leatherby's 20 years ago. In fact, when he flipped over one of the coupons, it said, "Matt, call Paul."

So this last week at church, I felt like my little boys were a bit out of control. They are best buds, and enjoy each other immensely, but sometimes they can be rambunctious and irreverent. (I always have wondered if one of them had been a girl, how that would've calmed things down.) I would like to share a list of the things that have happened in Sacrament Meeting over the past month or so. These boys are now 8 and 6: 1. Upon finding a Spanish hymn book, my little boys proceed to point out ...

Speeding Ticket Wisdom

If you are ever thinking that it would be cheaper to drive to the furniture store and pick up your new furniture to save the $60 delivery fee, keep in mind that if you get a speeding ticket on the way to the store that costs $80, it would've been cheaper to just pay the delivery fee. Also, as you leave the furniture store and drive back down the same road you got the speeding ticket on, and see the same cop pulling someone else over, you may get a dirty look from the cop if you give a little toot on the horn and wave as you pass him.
