A little of this and that....




While I was at "Time Out For Women" Bill took the kids to his work for their "Family Day" event. The girls got their faces painted, but Erin didn't want to be in the picture. Isn't that a cute Shannon?





We have been invaded by fruit flies, but I found a good way to get rid of them. Put some apple cider vinegar in a bottle or jar with a small opening. The flies are attracted to the smell, they fly in, but they never fly out, if ya know what I mean.




Shannon gave herself a little haircut last night. Erin has been growing out her bangs, and Shan decided that she didn't want bangs anymore either, so she just cut some of them off. I had to explain to her that now she has really short bangs, instead of no bangs at all! LOL.


Erin has learned all 13 Articles of Faith. We are proud of her. I would tell you to have her recite one for you, but she is soooo shy, that she won't do it. Sister Karam and Sister Milewski will hear them, they are her Faith in God leaders, but that is it I'm afraid.



I have a new calling. I am pretty sad to give up the BEST calling in the church, teaching Relief Society, but I am excited, nervous, and ready to tackle the hefty job of Enrichment Night Leader! It is pretty amazing to be a life-long member of the church and still receive callings that stretch you out of your comfort zone, I mean way out of the zone. I am open for ideas, suggestions, and thoughts about what you think have been good enrichment night activities/events in your ward. I'm not too proud to ask for help! LOL.

I have a very strong testimony of the fruit fly trick it really does work. I HATE fruit flies too. If you do not have a jar with a small opening you can roll a piece of paper in a cone shape and stick the point end into the jar and the fruit flies will just crawl right in. I also will throw a piece of banana or pear in the jar for good measure :)

How sad is it that my longest comment ever is on fruit flies :)
