New technology

For the past couple months I have enjoyed learning how to use my iPhone. Love that I can look things up quick, get recipes to use and stay connected with email. Today I was thinking of a funny story about Eli and it dawned on me that I could use my iPhone to blog more. So, here I am to share my funny story about Eli. Well it is funny now but not in the moment.

On Sunday I couldn't find my ring as we left in a mad dash for church and through out the day looked here and there for it. I usually leave it on the bathroom sink. As we were putting kids to bed I climbed up the bunk bed ladder and noticed something. It was one part to my ring! Charlie searched the whole house fir the other part and finally thought about how Eli likes to put things in an old fashion lunch box. Sure enough it was there! When we asked Eli to help look he just kept saying don't know where. Not sure he really realized where it was but he is going to be one to watch because the tv remote was found in one of the bathroom drawers after several weeks if searching too. Maybe his nickname will be Swipper as in "no swiping Swipper!"

Hope to be back soon to post a funny antidote about one of our other angels...

P.S. this picture is not from the ring search but want to keep on file to show kids some day how messy they were when little because I'm sure it will get better. :). On Sunday they didn't take naps and played for two hours with this mess as the result! "Wow!" Is all I can say!

Halloween FUN

For Halloween this year we hit up the grandparents but for something out of the ordinary we visited my 17 students staying at the Education Center.  We currently have an 8 week course with students from various states and they invited our kids up to trick or treat.  It was great because they got tons of candy without having to be in the cold, walk far or get scared by other costumes.  Lydia enjoyed being a cowgirl with horse and all.  Eli was a cow and Dominic was a horse.  Super fun and easy costumes! Oh yeah and the kids decided Charlie should be a butler.  He was kind and went all out with suit coat and all.  Hope you had a spooky day!
