Sweetest Kid Ever

-
Sick of being hounded by the kids about having dessert, sometimes even before dinner was over, I decided to schedule it.  Now we have dessert on Sundays and Wednesdays.  Today was the first day of scheduled dessert and there were several choices - David got donuts this morning and there were still some left (yes, they had dessert for breakfast on our first day of scheduled dessert...), we have some yogurt popsicles, and since Emmett begs for them constantly, I finally bought cream puffs from Costco.  To my surprise, Emmett picked a donut.  Luke picked the cream puffs (he got a few), and Henry had a popsicle. 

The cream puffs needed to thaw, so Luke was eating his dessert after Emmett and Henry were already finished.  Emmett was lamenting his inability to resist the donut when Luke offered his last cream puff to his brothers.  I cut it in half and they each got to try a bite.  He didn't ask for it, but I got Luke a replacement from the freezer. 

In general the boys share well and are pretty kind to one another (when they're not engaged in petty fighting).  But moments like these still stand out and make me smile.

My sister's husband, Dean, got the most amazing video of our eclipse. We were so very lucky to have thin clouds for most of the period of totality. Jump ahead to 4:25 to hear the crowd as we head into totality.

Thanks, Emmett.

At the first week of their ski lessons, David dropped Emmett and Luke off at their classes.  Yesterday David was starting his class, though, so I took them to their classes.  There are a lot of classes that meet outside, so there are signs up for each class - the big kids meet by letters and the little kids meet by numbers.  Emmett is in class "I" and Luke is in class 11.  The alphabet signs were clearly visible as we approached, but the numbers were behind some trees so I turned to ask Luke which way we should go around them.  Emmett helpfully called out, "See those signs?  My class meets by the one with a single line on it!"  Um, thanks for describing the letter "I" in a way I can understand, Emmett!

Birthday Cake #1 came with a crazy candle from my sister Rebecca: The candle actually worked really well! No need to have a fire extinguisher standing by. ") The Anniversary Inn in Salt Lake City has fun themed rooms like this one, the Mysteries of Egypt Suite.  There's a shower head in the snake's mouth, and the tub fills with water that trickles down the rocks off to the side! (it's kind of slow) Rebecca and Andrea upgraded our room to a package that included robes and roses and lots of fun treats. We were very well fed! Birthday Cake #2 matches my headband. We played ring toss with glowing necklaces and my unicorn horn.  Karaoke friends.  Loot!!!
