Last night Don and I were putting the kids to bed. Everyone was laying down and it was very quiet. Then Zach lifted his head. The conversation went like this:
Zach: Dad, why don't you try to be President?
Don and I: laughing
Zach: Would you lower the gas prices?
Caleb: Would you make recess longer?
This was so funny because they were so serious and Don and I were laughing so hard. We haven't been talking about this lately but there have been times when we do talk about the presidential candidates and the kids will ask questions about each of them. Then Don (very well grounded in this area) will proceed by telling them what each of the candidates believe and what they each "say" they will do. We always let them know it is a matter of prayer AFTER studying each one.

That is so funny. Recess is a very important issue.
Lisa McHargue!! My mom found your blog somehow & emailed it to me. . . how exciting! We found you! It sounds like you're doing well & getting ready for a grand adventure. I like moving--starting fresh, dejunking, organizing new rooms! Are your folks still in ML? Man, I miss that place! My folks moved to Layton, Utah. . . just 20 minutes from me (well, actually only 17 if you take the back roads!). It's fun having them close, but I miss going up & crashing at their house & attending the 6th ward & making many trips to the local Wal-Mart hoping to run into someone I know! Oh well, if you don't mind I'll probably spy on you every once in awhile to see what you're up to! Best of luck w/ everything!!
Love-

Hey girl. How's it going. I tried clicking on your name but it did not take me to your blog. I would love to see it. Tell me how.
That's cuz I don't have one! I just don't have enough time since I have to keep up w/ everyone else's blogs!! (I think both my mom & I are kind of blog addicts!!) Plus, my life just isn't as exciting as yours!! I go to soccer, dance, then clean the house, soccer, dance, & more cleaning! Exciting, huh??
I would hop on a plane tomorrow... I love decorating! Your house looks so wonderful! Not sleeping is so frustrating, but they don't call it being brave if your not scared first. Your a good mom, thats why you worry, take it as a compliment ;) We miss you guys, Jenna is attempting to roll her stomach like Rachel... she is trying very hard but can only do it a little. So cute. Ron and I laughed so hard when we read this blog, well at least they have their priorities in place ;) Isn't being a parent so funny sometimes??!!
