Monday

When I woke up this morning and looked outside to see this lovely weather, I immediately thought, "It's Monday, It's Monday, It's Monday!!!"  

A bleak, January day here in Iowa doesn't seem to bother Christopher Robin one bit.  He could spend months in the same location and never come out for air as long as his fleet of cars and trucks was there.

He happily drove his trucks all day, racing them some but

mostly CRASHING them and causing a "BIG traffic jam".  But don't worry, the drivers usually get out safely.  They "only bleed a little bit" at our house.

We were expecting guests for Family Home Evening so we put Gracie in charge of helping her Dad make the dessert. 

At 7:30 the Elders arrived. 

Elder England, who is going home this week, gave the lesson.

Gracie is becoming a scriptorian too!

Then the lesson was followed by a rambunctious game of duck, duck goose.

Everything is just more fun and funny when the Dr. is around. 

Off he goes! Curls bouncing.

After the lesson, we took a group picture.

This is take 1:  Elder Jewett's head is cut off, Jace is crying and Gracie is not looking at the camera.

Take 2:  my underwear is showing and Jace looks thrilled about life in general.   But Gracie is looking at the camera!

After Ryan got back from taking the Elders home, the traffic jam had to be cleaned up for obvious reasons.

Clean-up at our house can go either way, either with tears or no tears.  Tonight....tears...

....and no tears.

So here's to another January Monday, gone by in a flash.
