dirt...

I was looking forward to a quiet, leisurely weekend to myself! You see, Brett had invited BJ and the girls to join him at his ward's Daddy/Daughter campout. So, that meant that I just got to hang out at home with Jase. I had arranged for Normandee and I to take dinner to Jill's family last night. But, then after 5:00, I knew that I would have the whole night to myself. I borrowed some books from my parents and was really excited to sit and read. Well, when BJ picked the girls up from school, Addy was feeling sick. So, Addy ended up staying home...which meant that she had to tag along when we delivered dinner. Since she was sick, we left her in the car with Jase while we delivered the meal and saw their cute baby. We definitely did not want to bring sick germs into their home! Well, when Normandee and I got back in the car, Jase was crying. I immediately picked him up and I discovered...gum! In his hair! One look at Addy told the whole story. Apparently, her gum fell out of her mouth and got stuck in his hair. Well, she didn't want to get in trouble so she was trying to get the gum out of his hair. Poor Addy. She was so worried. Well, really...poor Jase. Poor little guy was just standing there minding his own business when she dropped her gum on his head and then started pulling his hair out. But, a litte bit of peanut butter solved it all. There is no trace of gum anymore. I think Jase actually thought it was funny having his hair washed with peanut butter in the kitchen sink!
After washing Jase's hair, we went out and took a couple of pictures, before coming home and doing puzzles together...



A little dirt never hurt anyone...right?







On the topic of dirt, I thought it was pretty cute that during Sister Beck's talk tonight at the general relief society broadcast, when she was talking about that faithful pioneer relief society sisters, she said (paraphrasing): "They dealt with dirt, starvation and loss of loved ones..." Dirt! Does that even compare to starvation and loss of loved ones?!? I got a good laugh. Did anyone else even notice that? :) But, I can relate. Dirt brings my spirits down too. In fact, I have been feeling really frustrated that my house has been so messy lately. So, yes. Dirt can definitely be a hardship!
