Colby is loving preschool. Last week his teacher told me he went all day without putting his thumb in his mouth once. Love that, but it didn't last.We got Beauty and the Beast in the mail from half.com. Eva loves it. She's watching it for the 4the or 5th time right now. Colby really likes it too.
Lilia had her 18 month check up, and since she missed her 15 month one (I didn't know they'd want to see her then since neither Colby or Eva had a 15 month appt) she had to have 4 shots PLUS the flu shot. It was pretty miserable. She went from 20th percentile to 13th in weight. It concerned me but the doctor didn't seem worried about it at all. She is jabbering all the time. It's so much fun.
I read The Hunger Games series last week. I couldn't put it down. Seriously good books. The kids and house suffered. Now I have to wait until next fall for the last one. But I did some research and found out they're making a movie out of it. (AND Fablehaven is being made into a movie-if anyone cares to know that.)
Our house is still sitting here. In our tiny ward a couple of people have told me its because they're praying for us to stay. Ha. Really, our ward is so tiny and is only getting smaller. Finding people for callings is a challenge.
Yesterday morning I heard Colby put something on the counter and I could just tell it was scissors. He cut a couple of lockets from Lilia's hair. Luckily nothing too drastic. I need to keep those scissors under constant surveillance. I would have been devastated if he'd cut a ton of her hair off.
Jason's still driving all day long it seems like. I'm excited for the day we get to start spending more time with him.

I LOVED that book!! I have many more great ones too if you ever need a suggestion!! I got to read a ton last year at work!!
I just got an email that the Hunger Games is waiting for me at the library, I can't wait!!
Liz, I would LOVE recommendations!! I'm always looking for good series, or just books, to read.
Becky, I was going to put the first one on hold but it was like 135 holds for 40 copies or something like that. Just the first book! So I bought it with a 40% of coupon at Borders, then I saw the 2nd one at Costco and got it for less than I paid for the first.
What's this series about? Good thing I'm in school and can't start reading it until probably after the last one comes out. Reading for fun would be a serious detriment to my GPA.
Is it better than the Twiliight books!? I tease, I tease. I would love a good book to read! Valerie just finished the last Twilight book, she is now reading some young adult books that I got for her last year. She is really getting a great love for reading and in all honesty, I owe Twilight for that.
I will definitely try to find that book.
I am sorry about the long drive/house sitting still, but I am sort of in the same boat. It is kind of lonely and then we are both so exhausted on the weekends. You guys are amazing though, you always seem to have so much fun despite the crazy time away from home Jason has.
I babble. Anyway, things work out, Dana. In the end, it often surprises me how perfectly things work out.
It's a pretty gruesome concept, but it never goes into detail. It's about a nation that exists on North America in the future, there's a capital and 12 districts. The 12 districts tried to break free 70+ years ago and now as punishment they have the Hunger Games where a boy and girl from each district between the age of 12-18 have to fight to the death and it ends with the last person standing. Sounds horrible, it's goooooood. It might be as good as Twilight, but I'm kind of biased as far as that goes. I've always loved reading, but I think Twilight got me to love it even more too.
I know everything happens for a reason, I just need to learn some patience.
For those of us who don't read novels very often, you might have to come up with something a little more compelling than "it might be as good as Twilight" to make that kind of commitment.
I'm just saying.
Ya, I think I read a couple harry potters, and before that the last novel I read was Superfudge in the 5th grade.

I put my scissors on the fridge. Mia can get them, she has cut her hair once. My biggest fear is Jack getting them and cutting his clothes, Mia did that once too, or my couch or curtains or poking his eye. Mia had scissors when she was three. I bribed Jack with a bouncy ball when he wanted his own scissors. I am going to wait until the last book comes out. I hate the waiting and the suspense. Besides, I am re-reading New Moon before the movie comes out. I have missed reading books that don't rhyme.
