The Blue Eyed Bunch

A little bit ago we were reading nursery rhymes.  We read Humpty Dumpty and James asked me a very profound question after we finished the story.
"How did Humpty Dumpty get on the wall?"
I had never thought of that.  How did he get himself into such a dangerous situation?  We talked about all the different ways we thought he could get on the wall.  We discussed why he would go up to a dangerous place.  Was he tricked?  Did he think it would be fun?  Were others up there?  Did someone throw him a rope?  Was there a ladder or stairs?  Why did he not get down after he got up there?  What influenced his decision?
We made a Family Home Evening out of the question.  We don't know the whole story, but we do know if Humpty had made better choices in the beginning then he would not have fallen.

While we were in St. George a girl was drinking from the splash pad water fountain.  Not a little bit.  A LOT.  I looked around for parents.  I finally walked over to her and told her, "I don't think you should drink this water.  It can hurt you."
"Like I could die?"  she asked.
Then her mom yelled for her.

As we were driving one day Wesley was telling us about his dream. (He has lots of dreams)  He said that him and James were jumping in the video game!  He told us all about it.  Wesley LOVES video games and computer games.

Brad wants a lot of stuff.  He really needs to live on a farm.  He wants chickens and other animals.  One day he told me he wanted a greenhouse.  I must have told him I didn't want to look at one in my yard because I thought they were ugly.  I must have said that because when we were visiting Brian's cousins house and he saw the large greenhouse in their backyard he told them I said that.
What could I have even said to that?  And this was my 15 year old talking, not a little kid!

Aubryn was told to vacuum.  I left and when I came back the vacuum was out and the job was unfinished.  That is unusual for Aubryn.  I asked her what happened.  She said, "I had a feeling I should not keep vacuuming, so I stopped."
I am always trying to teach my kids to listen to their inner voice, the Holy Ghost, or promptings.  I think she just found the perfect way to get out of things!  I didn't say anything back to her.  I didn't know what to say!

Ran to Walmart with Brad, Chase, and Aubryn.  A worker meowed at us when he almost ran us over pushing carts.  Then their was a gal spying on shoppers with her walkie talkie.  She crept around, crouched sown behind displays, tip-toe-ran, and whispered.  If she was trying to be sneaky, she was doing a horrible job.  She made me nervous.  So I went up to her and sked if she worked there.  "Yes!" she whispered, "Yes.  I work here."  Then she ran away.

Eden thinks Chase's name is Jesus sometimes.  I'm not sure why.  Today at church Chase was sitting at the sacrament table blessing the bread and water.  Eden pointed, "Jesus!" she said loudly in the quiet chapel.  "Jesus!  Jesus!"  I giggled and wondered if people thought she was really seeing Jesus at the sacrament table.
