Well, I actually couldn't even sleep last night because of excitement and my mind racing thinking of last minute preparations (good thing we got the pedicures out of the way--Phew!)

Necessary Preparations

Late Night Camping.
Tonight we decided to take the kids on a "family date." We went to the Nickelcade in Orem, then got Slurpees at 7-11, then on the way home Jane said "Hey dad, you said that we were going to sleep in a tent tonight."
It was sprinkling, it was windy, and it was also 8:45 at night. I started to tell Jane about how late it was, how dark it was, etc. trying to give David an "out" so he wouldn't have to camp in the front yard. Apparently I'm married to a true SuperDad because he replied: "Sure Jane, do you want to sleep in the front yard or back yard?"
Right now Max, Jane and David are crammed into a two man tent eating popcorn and watching Mulan on a laptop.
My kids do not know how lucky they are to have a dad like David.
On the way to school.

Where do they come up with these things?
(This post was edited this morning by David who told me that it was Jane who said the following, not Max like I remembered it....it goes to show how important it is to write things down at the time they happened and not try to recount it a year later).

Jane: "Mom, why do they put those 'no robber' signs up"
Mom: "Because they are telling you that the people in this neighborhood are watching out for each other and they are trying to keep people from stealing."
Jane: "yeah, like the Hawaiians."
Mom (horrified): "Why would you say that? Why do you think Hawaiians steal things?"
Jane: "Well, and the Chinese."
It was at least good to know that she was not totally single-minded in her 4 year old racist mind.

Funny Things Kids Say
Last night in Family Home Evening we talked about journals. I am not that great at keeping a journal, but one that I've tried to keep up (and again, not very well) is a little book of funny things that the kids have said while growing up. Who doesn't like to hear about the funny little, quirky things that they said when they were kids. Now I can share the joy with the invention of mommy-blogging.
A few years ago Max and I were driving past a yard sale and the following conversation took place:
Max: "Mom, stop over there at the yard sale, maybe they have some toys for me."
Mom: "Max there is nothing there but junk, it's not worth it."
Max: "Mom, what's butt-junk?"
