Condoms...


#1 This blog is inspired by Luke. What is it with my kids and Andy's Condoms? Today Luke got the condoms out and tried them on as gloves. Usually he just tries to fill them up with water or blows in them. Why? Why has he wasted so many condoms so repeatedly? It's not just him, Evie enjoys it too. I guess I was once fascinated by condoms. My darkest secret Lillie (my cute Autistic niece asked me what this was recently, I couldn't think of anything I was willing to tell her, she is a total sieve) is that once when I was babysitting for a neighbor I found their condoms and opened one up, just to check it out. What is worse, is that when I was done I put it in the garbage by their bed, wrapper and all. I didn't even try to hide it! What was I thinking. I believe it was in my favor that I was exceptionally homely, naive, and that the neighbor I was tending for was a very open OB/GYN. I don't recall if they ever asked me back. :) My parents Nanny once found a condom wrapper on the floor in my parents room and was so freaked out about it that she called all her friends. "Do I throw it away?" "Do I kick it under the bed and pretend I didn't see it..." What is the big deal? Only parents should have such a dilemma and only if they find it in their children's rooms.


#2 Well, I was going to update this blog with a special treat for Brooke, but due to some technical difficulty it will have to wait. Sorry. Teton Springs was fun, another case of the Griswald's going on vacation. My niece broke her foot, the brothers got caught in a horrible storm and couldn't summit the Tetons, we had torrential rain, someone brought up a flu bug and we all got it. But it was fun anyway. Lukey puked in the candy store right before we came home and I got to drive home with puke in my shoes and all up and down my pants. JOY...


#3 I am addicted to Grey's Anatomy. I think in my next life I will stay single a little longer and be an OB. There is something about pregnant women. Oh well.

A week at EFY

I know you are all jealous. Not many 30 somethings get to go to EFY. For me it is the first time and I didn't know what I was in for. I am in Cedar City with 40 councilors and 270 youth. The kids are off with various relatives and while I was sad to leave them (especially Isaac) I haven't missed them too much. How sad is that? Every time I call them they are all screaming and crying. Evie keeps saying she wants to go home, but I'm not ready to jump into life again yet. My new days consist of a maid and free meals that require no dishes or cooking on my part. Awesome. Andy speaks a couple times a day, and I even spoke for a little in today's morning side. We go to classes and devotionals and even dances. Everyone is out to get me in the spotlight. The councilors and Andy. Last night they made Andy and I try out for the dance contest in front of all the kids. Humiliation! But it was a great time, I am a teenager again. Enjoy these videos. I hope they make you laugh. (I'll have to figure out how to get them turned around.)
