Ethan got lucky this time...

Last week we were reading scriptures. Each boy has his own set so that he can follow along. I've also asked the boys to start reading a verse or two. Isaac had just finished reading. The last word was seed. Ethan wasn't paying attention, so being the mean mom that I am, I asked him to read. He asked where we were. I told him that he wasn't paying attention and that he needs to figure that out. And if he got it wrong, he would be grounded. His first instinct was to go with the last word he remembered hearing... seed. I gave him a clue and told him that 3 of the verses end in 'seed'. I reminded him again that if he's wrong, he's grounded. He asked if it was verse 18. I told him I wasn't going to tell him and that he was to just start reading. He took a couple seconds and started reading verse 20... the right verse!

Hi Sarah,
Thanks for coming by my place for a visit last week. I am a very sporadic blogger. I'm not on every day, so I'm just now getting back to everyone. Yes, you guessed it...Arizona! What part did you live in?
I enjoyed scrolling through your Site here to see all the adorable pics of your boys. Looks like you have your hands full. They are all precious!!! Boys are wonderful.
I left a comment on your Site about Sylus this morning. Thank you for sharing your story.
Have a great week,
M.L.

Decided to pop back over to leave my email address, only because I don't generally talk about exactly where we live or my sweet Preston on my Blog. And don't feel obliged, just thought I'd leave it just in case:

Take care.
