Lessons Learned



This was such a fun night...and one that soon will not be forgotten. It was a little before school was out for the summer and I had just got done shopping with the kids. I had fought them the whole time in the store and was ready to just get them home, bathed and in bed. As I was driving I had a very strong impression that I needed to take this time and make memories with my little ones. I'm sure this isn't exactly what Heavenly Father had in mind, but there has to be some adventure when I'm involved! I turned around and the girls instantly asked where we were going. I said to the dollar store. I had Kelbee run in and get some toilet paper. Of course she ran into our neighbors and couldn't wait to tell them of my plan. Rudy and Jared were at the movies - so I had to take advantage of their lonesome car. I showed them how to wrap the toilet paper around the mirrors, throw it under and over the car and to put the empty rolls on the windshield wipers. We got back in the car all of us giggling, with the exception of Wyatt who was screaming the entire time. On our way home I told the girls if they thought that that was fun, we should go toilet papering someones house sometime. They asked what that was and so I told them all about it and that you have to get dressed in dark clothes. It quiet for a couple of seconds and Raimee said "Mom, if I get out my dark clothes can we go tonight?"
