I guess I need tweezers?

Memorial Day! It was sunny and warm and gorgeous! In the morning George put together our new patio swing, and the kids and I had fun swinging on that while he threw out some stuff in the garage (we have waaaaay too much crud in there! we're going to borrow one of his co-worker's trucks to haul some stuff to the dump soon).

So anyway, the kids and I were playing "wake up, mommy!" in which I reptend to go to sleep, and they count to three and scream "WAKE UP, MOMMY!" as close to my face as they can. Errol in particular loves this game. After a while Errol started pointing out my facial features, and Raia became fascinated with my eyes. She pointed to my eyes, then my eyelashes and eyebrows, but she called both the lashes and brows "eyebrows" and counted out four of them. I explainted to her the difference, and that "Mommy only has two eyebrows," but Raia disagreed. "No, mommy, you have THREE eyebrows!" "No I don't, see? One, two," "No, mommy! One [points to left eyebrow], two [points to inbetween my eyebrows], THREE [points to my right eyebrow]!

So aparently Raia thinks I have a unibrow.

We had Family Home Evening tonight, which makes for two weeks in a row! Booya! Tonight's lesson was on Baptism and Confirmation, and it was a compilation of the lesson on Baptism from the church Nursery manual, and the Sharing Time lesson in last month's issue of The Friend. I also printed out a copy of John 3:5 written in big, bold print so Raia could practice saying it. She LOVES repeating things with me and memorizing them, so I'm taking advantage of that and starting to teach her some very short Scriptures and Articles of Faith. It's amazing how she's soaking it all up. Errol even tried doing it tonight, but only got as far as "A man must be born..." before he just started yelling incoherently when I wanted him to repeat some words. He thought he was hysterical.

George also bought a window A/C unit today. We've been in this house for almost 7 years and this will be the first summer we've had A/C. We borrowed one from a friend late last summer, because I was really feeling the heat while being pregnant with Patrick. (and yet somehow having one baby born in August and one in July didn't have me sweating bullets as much as my February baby did. go figure) George had been wanting one for a while, but so long as our window fan was working I was okay with no A/C. Buuut, after having one last summer I finally broke down and said we could get one this summer. It was NICE having a cool house that didn't smell like the outdoors. (Longview doesn't have the freshest smelling air, I must say. Stupid paper mills)

It's going to be sunny and warm all week, so it should see lots of use. :)
