So tonight for Family Home Evening we did one last followup on Easter. We hid some eggs around the room that had questions inside of them about Jesus and the resurrection. In a couple of the eggs there were smiley faces which meant that the kids had to tell us their favorite blessing that Heavenly Father has given them. Lauren said that she was grateful that Jesus created the earth and for all the pretty things that we have to look at. Later on Grant got a smiley face in his egg and so we asked him the same question. He responded by saying "I'm grateful for praying...", Harv and I looked at each other with amazement at Grant's thoughtful and unexpected answer, but then Grant continued, "no maybe trick or treating". It was nice to get a little glimpse into Grant's understanding about meaningful blessings if only for a moment. Besides, I guess he is right, life would be pretty bland without treats every once in a while.

I asked Ella one day if she would stay little forever. She responded by saying, "I be rockstar Mommy!" So I took that as a "no". 2y
This is Ella's first official funny sentence. I can't wait for more silliness from her as her language skills improve.

We have made a new mealtime rule that is somewhat silly but says: You're done when your seat leaves your bum. After church one day I asked Grant how his primary class was and if he was good for his teacher. He then said:
"I stayed in my seat the whole time but Alex and Kotaro, their seats kept leaving their bums" (speaking of his classmates)

Lauren: "Grant what is your favorite part of your body?"
Grant: "My mouth, because it helps get food to my tummy and I love food!" (that couldn't be more true)

Situation: It's 6:30 on Sunday morning. I hear something down in the kitchen. I come downstairs to find cake mix all over the floor and all over Grant's pajamas.
Harvey: "Grant, you need to have Mom or Dad help you to make a cake."
Grant: "But I'm not making a cake, I'm just mixing it."
Harvey: "Oh..."
