Happy Birthday Tyler!
Tyler’s official 12th birthday is tomorrow, but we had the big party Friday night. He had 6 friends over and they played football, had pizza for dinner, watched How to train a dragon (best kids movie ever!), opened presents, ate ice cream cake, and finished off the night playing kick the can. He gave me huge thumbs up at the end so I assume it was successful. They all seemed to all have a great time.
(I officially suck as a mom- been so busy I completely forgot to put his name and Happy Birthday on the cake. I ALSO forgot to get candles and matches! What the heck??)
Tyler was sustained today in church, will be ordained tomorrow, and will be able to attend his 1st ever temple trip on Saturday!
All you really need is skin
There’s a song I remember that says:
You gotta have skin,
All you really need is skin
Skin's the thing that if you've got it outside
It helps keep your insides in
Skin is what you feel at home in
And without it, furthermore
Both your liver and abdomen
Would keep falling on the floor
(And you'd be dressed in your intestine)
(Alan Sherman)
That reminded me a lot of Alayna this week. Her dead skin continued falling off. It was pretty painful for a while as the new tender skin emerged. We had to wrap her hands in ace bandages with heavy duty skin cream each night. One day, she had to wake up Kayla because she couldn’t open the door with her “mitts” to go to the bathroom. It was so sad. She is back up to full strength now with slightly chapped hands, and me….well, I sure am glad for skin!
Football FHE
Our really good friends came up with a fun idea for family home evening. We played football! Well, the husbands and kids played while us moms got to sit back and relax. Then we had fun Halloween sugar cookies. It was such a fun evening- especially watching all 6 kids try to take down Tyler for a tackle!
