Destry and I were talking about what to have for dinner and he mentioned that a BLT sounded good. He also mentioned that he didn't like the olive oil mayo that we had in the fridge and that he preferred Miracle Whip. I was incredulous at this declaration! I had grown up on Miracle Whip and I saw that his mom had mayo at her house and for some reason or another I had had a conversation with his sister, JuNette, who said that she did not like Miracle Whip at all. I assumed that he came from a mayo family so that is what I have been buying for the past 17 years. Honestly, I don't love either of them and I prefer mayo if I am making certain salads like potato or broccoli, so that is what I keep on hand. He thought that I must have come from mayo-loving stock and just used it on the rare occasions that he ate a sandwich. Who knew? I really was dumb-founded by this recent revelation. He is not one to keep his food preferences to himself and I could not believe he had kept this a secret all this time. Well, I had to go to the store to get some popsicles for Estelle to take to school tomorrow and you can be sure I also purchased my first jar of Miracle Whip in 17 years.
Yesterday we had a "Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad" morning that ended with a Christlike Kindness
Last Saturday morning SHOULD have been an ordinary Saturday morning. The children have "Saturday chores" that they are required to do before they move on with their day. There are a few exceptions. This morning Spencer had an exception because his scout troop led by Destry went on a rock climbing expedition. It was a gorgeous day! They had a great time thanks to Destry's former missionary companion and friend, Dallin Ward, who shared his talents and expertise with the group. Spencer was the star as I was told. For those of us who stayed behind, it should have been chore time after they left. They were all playing together nicely for a while and I just let them. It is fun to see them getting along and playing well. At around 10:00 I reminded them to get get started because Emma had her first basketball game of the season and Estelle had a birthday party that both started at 1:00. That should have been no problem. ...
