I Want Cell Phone
Well, Todd and I recently decided to get a prepaid cell phone for emergency purposes. It was only 10 bucks at Big Lots. Anyway, After playing with Nana's cell phone this weekend Spencer saw ours on the table and said, "I want cell phone". I was quite suprised that he actually said cell phone instead of just phone. He must have heard us referring to Nana's phone as a cell phone and thought the one on the table was like hers (Not that hers looks like a $10.00 one from Big Lots). Anyway, I was quite impressed. I never thought I would buy my kid a cell phone, but I'm actually thinking that Santa might be getting him one for Christmas. Of course it won't have any minutes on it, but he seems to prefer the real phones to the fake ones.
Conference Weekend
We went to Todd's parents house for conference in Oct. These pictures are of Spencer and Auntie Wug relaxing on the couch.
Scripture Study
I've been horrible at posting things here, but I had a quick story to share from a couple of nights ago....
It seems that Spencer is getting something out of family scripture study. We usually read after dinner, before he starts getting ready for bed. Spencer was squirming around on the couch as we were reading and suddenly said, "came to pass"! Can you tell we're studying the Book of Mormon?

Twins?
Well, before Spencer I thought it would be fun to have twins or triplets. I guess my aunt LeeAnna made having twins along with 8 other kids look easy. Don't get me wrong, Spencer is a very good kid, nevertheless, it takes a lot of time and energy being a mother and taking care of the house. So, since becomming a mother, I've realized having twins might be a lot more work than I realized.
Also, watching a 26 month old and Spencer who is 19mo. today also opened my eyes to the challenges of having twins. I saw this as I was at the park trying to watch two kids who wanted to do different things at the park. Also, after leaving a store trying to open the car door while holding on to the 26 mo. old with one hand and Spencer with the other. It took me a few tries of letting go of Spencer's hand and trying to open the door while he tried to run away. Finally, a friend came over and held Spencer's hand so I could open the car door. Also, the organization of having two diaper bags itself was mind boggling. Anyway, hats off to mothers of multiples or who have their children really close together.
p.s. Sorry for so many pictureless posts. I've just been too lazy. It's so much easier to type than it is to post pictures.
Another cute little story. As we were driving in the car this morning, the little boy I was babysitting put his hand on Spencer's carseat and oh boy, Spencer did not like that. Also, at the park I brought the 26 mo. old over to where Spencer was playing,thinking it would be easier to watch them if they were in the same place, and Spencer did not like that either. Where do they learn so young to be so territorial?

A House Full of Kids
Today turned out to be busier than I had planned. I had planned on having the boy I tutor come after school from about 1:30-2:30 or 3 and then the Achievement Day girls come from 3:30-4:30. Well, I ended up at one part of the day having 5 kids in the house at once, Spencer (19 mo.) a 26 month old, kindergartner, 2nd grader, and a fourth grader (lucklily for my sanity they are all good kids).
This morning the mother of one of the Achievement Day girls asked if her daughter could come early and I said she could. Then I get a call from a lady in our ward asking if I could watch her 26 month old nephew and I said I could. Then later, she called and said she wouldn't be back on time and asked me to pick up her niece from kindergarten and I said I could. It was fun and Spencer LOVED it. Again, luckily they are all good kids.
Oh yeah, in the midst of all the craziness of today, while I was trying to fit in a quick shower, Spencer got a hold of my glassess and broke the ear part off. So now I have a black piece of duct tape (I used to call it duck tape before I met Todd) holding my glassess together until I get new ones. Oh well. I was planning on getting new ones any way, but decided to wait and save up a little more money first.
