I said the opening prayer in church today. As soon as I finished, Rusty hollered, “Momma said amen!”
I was wearing a floor length skirt today. I asked Billy how I looked, he said, “Whoa, Momma! Your skirt is really big!”
Ricky was spotlighted in his church primary class today because of his birthday. I had answered some questions about him for them to share. One question was “what is Ricky’s favorite scripture story?” I answered one of the Book of Mormon stories I tell him at bedtime. After church, I asked Ricky about it. He said everything was true except one thing, his favorite scripture story. “Momma, you know that isn’t my favorite. My favorite is Veggie Tales!” (perhaps we should work on this)
Tommy hurt his leg yesterday when he stepped off a stair. He’s been favoring that leg and limping along. During Sunday School today, he limped up and down the aisle over and over again, jabbering to himself. He only stole two pens and two packets of gum (empty, thank goodness) from different people’s bags. That’s pretty good for him.
Rusty started “cock-a-doodle-doo” -ing in the middle of Sacrament Meeting. Quite loudly, I might add.
Tommy was whimpering at dinner for something. It took us most of the meal to realize he wanted more watermelon. Then he proceeded to eat and eat and eat and eat … until he was done and then he quickly chucked whatever was left on the floor.
Ricky made a couple of cards today for people. If you are one of them, don’t expect much sentiment. His cards consist of maps. Squiggly lines with an occasional X or ? on it. Good luck finding the treasure. His card for Grandmama’s birthday (which we forgot to give her) said,
H. B. G.
F. R. O. P.
Y. G,S

We had pineapple upside-down cake for dessert. Billy doesn’t care for fruit much. Instead of eating his cake, he attacked it with his fork. When he was finished, it didn’t resemble a cake so much any more. If there had been a cherry on top, I’m pretty sure he would have mutilated that too.
