drew's list.

my oldest kids are amazingly responsible.
i am continually impressed by their discipline.
i found this list on the counter after the boys went to school.
it's drew's things to do in the morning list...
i asked him if it was for school or scouts or something.
he said it wasn't... it was just to help him remember what he wanted to get done before school.
cute boy.

My favorite is #8.
and, the (if needed) on #4.
and, the ASAP on #12.

last night he said, "Mom, if you want to read a really spiritual scripture chapter, try Alma 5.  It's long, but really good."
isn't he cute? and, he's right.  Alma 5 is great.
{he's always telling me things like this, i think he doesn't know that i study my scriptures while he is at school.}

i love being a mother.
i am continually humbled by the great people i have gotten to know as i've learned to parent them.
today, i want to know them a little bit better and love them a little bit more.

and, i want to cook beans.
real, live, dry beans.
we'll see...
have a good day!
today my eve turns 1...  and on Sunday Anna turned 9... i mean 10... {double digits?!}
my babies are growing up!!??!!

  3. Linda-- sure! i don't even remember writing a post on scripture study?!! {maybe all of my posts are on scripture study?}
    feel free to share my blog address if you think anyone would want to read my daily wanderings...

    here is my payment-- 2 titles of books that changed your life (for me to read- i like happy endings) and 2 titles of your favorite kids books.

    if i remember right you are an AMAZING storyteller!

    Oh, i wish i could sit in your class-- i'm sure it's going to be so great!!

  4. i hope that sounded right--
    i just want TITLES, not actually books.
    i was kidding about it as payment.

    and, todd laughed at your scripture chase comment-- but he is amazing.
    he can tell me the chapter that almost any scripture is in. he says you taught him everything he knows. :)
