Day 5

Boys Like Dirt

Phelan played outside almost all day yesterday. We just had our back door open and he stayed out there for most of the day and evening up until bedtime. It's so nice having a little backyard for him to play in. He dug in the dirt, covered his foot in dirt (He was trying to look like Venom from Spider Man, he said.) and even tasted the dirt. I was taking pictures and didn't realize he had sampled it until I was looking at the picture of him I'd just taken with his little makeshift shovel up by his mouth and heard him say "Dirt is yucky. We don't eat dirt." Oops. Lesson learned at least.

Kadence On the Way Home

She had a pretty uneventful day yesterday. She played with her wordsearch puzzels during Sacrament and read her Friend magazine her grandpa gave her. She was pretty excited when she read the article on the Draper Temple in it AND saw a picture of the very room we got sealed as a family in last May though.

Walk to Church

Last Sunday I had to walk to church out of necessity. This Sunday Kadence pleaded for us to walk again. It's about a 15 minute jaunt at a brisk pace. I think next sunday we need to make it more of a leisurely stroll and give ourselves 30 minutes so we don't wind up at church all wind blown and panting. Ryan said the excursion was his favorite part of the day, I would have to agree, although the nap on the couch together was pretty good too.
