These boys really like sleeping on the air mattress together. Getting snuggled up under Grandma's quilts and telling each other monkey stories. (I had to lay down some rules about the stories though---no aliens, no weapons. "Jag" the orange monkey can stay.)
So Friday, the eye doctor blocked out the entire afternoon for the Hales family. We started at 1 o'clock and kept him busy until closing. He left all the office doors open and we all wandered pretty freely as we went through the different tests. He was great with the kids showing them his cool equipment and fun devices. It was pretty fun. Bryant will get glasses for reading. James and Talmage are going to try contacts. Afterwards we all hit Burger King with some Christmas gift cards. I don't think my kids have every been to Burger King.
That night, Sariah and I went to the Junior Miss dress rehearsal. She sat on my lap and we whispered back and forth about what we thought and which dresses were modest.
It was so fun.
Tonight, she and I went to her "Great to Be Eight" night. She was pretty excited and we came home and read the first two chapters of her new baptism book with the boys. I love that little girl. I looked over at her in her pigtails on the church pew today and knew that my days with her as a little girl are oh so few. No matter how I try to soak it all in, I already miss her with her toothless smile and silky pigtails.
