The Giver



Best book I have read in a while now. I never had to read it in High School and I'm kind of glad. I don't think I would've appreciated it then. 
You should read it if you haven't. 
I think my next book should be The Hunger Games. Trevor read it and loved it and so has every other person in the world! Or should I say Ward??? :)

Everyone that I have recommended The Hunger Games series to has yet to tell me they didn't like it. SO... I agree, this should be your next selection for reading material. :o)

GO READ IT! It's the best book I've read in a really long time. Even Chris liked it & he doesn't like to read much.

Funny-I JUST finished reading The Giver, last week. Jaden (my 5th grader) picked it out. His class had to pick a Newbery Award book to read for a class assignment, and he chose The Giver. I decided to read it as well.
He hated the ending! He wanted Jonas to take the Giver, Fiona, and Asher with him as well.
I asked him why and he said The Giver, to have an adult with knowledge with him, Fiona for his wife, and Asher for a friend. He said they could all raise baby Gabe together, and start a new life.
Very insightful for a ten year old! I am getting the new Kindle today and have already downloaded the Hunger Games onto it for when it arrives~I can't wait!
Good luck on the first day of school! As far as the clean house, warm folded laundry, and dinner on the table~I thought that's how it would be here-but I still have SO many things going on that life is still as chaotic as ever!

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

He said what???

It was a lovely Sunday. The children played happily while I browsed the internet (I want to say I was looking at lds.org... but I wasn't) They were chattering with each other and I vaguely listened in the background of my head. It really was nice until Stephen said a naughty word~ to Emily. My lazy mind picked right up and I whipped my head around. "What did you just say" "I didn't know it was a bad word" "Yes you did. Otherwise you wouldn't be starting to cry right now" I felt just like the mom from that Christmas movie as I marched him right up the stairs and into the bathroom. Thank goodness I still buy bar soap. I stuck it right in his mouth and continued to lecture him about why we don't say those words and how those words hurt Heavenly Fathers feelings. I left the soap in for a full minute and he cried the whole time. And of course Trevor was standing around the corner smiling and smirking. But I was mad! And Stephen really di...
