Lucy is so cute. She laid down tonight and as she does in other nights she giggled and talked to herself while trying to fall asleep. Evan had returned from the apple Store fixing my phone and when he opened the door it startled her from her almost sleep(I was watching in the video monitor). Anyway, a while longer passed and then Peter woke up hungry, so Evan went to get him and then came downstairs with Peter. I told Evan that Lucy and gotten herself out of bed to see why Peter was crying and he should check on her because if she wasn't sleeping she might be poopy(she doesn't like to sleep with poop) or hungry(she is GROWING). So he turned and started up the stairs and then SCREAMED,"Oh my goodness!" Then said "Lucy" She is so stealth-she got out of her room, and started down the stairs. While I thought he saw a mouse or stubbed his foot it was just our sweet little Lucy:) -apparently we didn't feed her enough dinner:)
So we are watching Caillou with her(FAVORITE show of her's). She starting giggling and is dancing back and forth squeezing her hands opened and closed. Then we notice the kids on Caillou are doign it. She is such a good copycat!
So cute!
on other news, I helped Evan grade papers today, we had a nice Saturday together after a baby shower I threw for Kristy Robinson. So fun!
Now it's late and I'm tired. Tina(my sister) is chaperoning a youth dance, macarena, thriller and she just broke up a couple making out in a bright lit hallway with other kids around. She said the guy looked a little sheepish when she asked them to tone it down:)
Evan is so cute! I love that he is a teacher. He got called into a new calling, I will announce it soon. He is a good man.
Peter is a cutie and has learned that he has a tongue. He smacks his lips and suctions his tongue on the roof of his mouth to make a popping sound. So cute!
Guess I should head to bed!
CHEERS!

Life is like waxing
Life is like waxing-why do you ask? Well, I wax my eyebrows, and every time I do I feel fresh, alert, awake, prettier and I seem to do more in my life. But slowly, little hairs start growing back and I soon have another caterpillar to wax away. Even though they are little hairs, they feel burdernsome, heavy, overpowering, look awful, dark, and take over my face-Istart feeling down, slow, like I just don't care about stuff. If there was just one hair, no worries, I can deal with it for a bit or just pluck it out.
Now in life, each little hair is like dirty dishes, paying bills, comments from family or friends that way you down, eating to much, feeling depressed, fighting, overindulgence. But as I slowly pluck one by one, or wax a strip, I feel like I have a new start.
Take yesterday for example(I waxed my eyebrows and had all of this come to me). I woke up, got Evan off to work, fed Peter, Lucy was still asleep and I laid Peter down again. I almost chose to sleep more, but I was able to pluck that lazy hair out and be productive. I read scriptures, said prayers, did dishes, clean the lazy susan and lined it, cleared off and washed the kitchen counters, vacuumed, showered, did my hair, waxed my eyebrows, and then Lucy woke up. That extra couple of hours I accomplished so much. when in the past I would have thought entitled to more sleep(Even though Evan is off working hard). I would have then woke up feeling overwhelmed with all of my tasks that I had yet to do-and probably procrastinate like I am good at and warned about in blessings. I would have not felt the Spirit because I would have held off praying and reading scriptures and not waxed my eyebrows feeling yucky!
Anyway, maybe this is a bad analogy but I like it. I felt so good yesterday, and have already repeated a lot of that this morning. I am going to try to be better in these areas(for my 2011 and life goals in general):
Reading Scriptures
Personal prayers
Straighten or clean up
Exercise
Play more with Peter and Lucy
budget better
count calories
keep a journal
I hear Lucy waking up, time to let the fun begin:)
