I am pretty sure that this might be a first — in all of history.
Unless you know of someone who is suffering from a sever case of hives — who makes breakfast in bed for her mom.
You know why she did it?
Just because she is rad!
HIVE Girl Service
Ka’s Temple Day
Today was a good day.
Ka — you are rad.
HIVES
Navy woke up this morning with hives everywhere!
I should have listened to her more closely when she said she was a bit itchy last night!
I took her to the doctor — and there were no real answers…but she was put on a steroid to tone her rash down.
She was in good spirits — as she always is!
But I made sure she didn’t walk past a mirror to see her overnight 20 pound weight gain!
Poor girl.
Especially since she is supposed to be getting baptized in just a few days.
I think it’s time to reschedule.
Navy’s Baptism Interview
In honor of her upcoming baptism, I interviewed Navy on all thing important. But if you will notice, she was looking a little funky in her interview. Her cheeks were a bit too rosy, and she was even a bit swollen. I wasn’t sure what it was — but the HIVES that came by the end of this day were BAD! Good thing we got this interview in when we did!
(I still think she is drop dead gorgeous!)
Numbed Up
It took me about 15 minutes to convince this boy, that he didn’t have to keep his mouth wide open as saliva dripped out — just because he was numb!

First you feed.
Then you burp.

Talk about old pros at this!
3 AM Hero
I woke up to this awesome story!
Last night, while Scout was sleeping, he said that in the middle of the night, something woke him up and told him to check on Bella and the babies. When he went in, she was feeding Posey and Penn. He walked right over, and said, “I’m here Bella. I can help you.” She told him it was late, and he should go back to bed. But he insisted that he would just help for a little bit, and then he would go back to sleep. The side note of that story is that Bella had just said a prayer…asking for help to have the strength to feed her babies without getting frustrated. (This was her first stint at being a solo mom to three littles.) She was having a tough time, so said another prayer asking for the same help. Then she said that not a minute later, Scout came in to help. After he insisted on staying, she teared up at the help she was getting, and that her help came from Scout.
That oldest boy of mine is something else. He is so awesome, it is amazing.
Distraught
Pippi has discovered her love of play dates, so Goldi and Sturdy have had a lot of us lately. But when we have to leave, Pippi is absolutely distraught. She can’t seem to see the fairness in us leaving the fun behind. I then said, “Pippi…how do you think I feel? I have to drive you and your sibling around all afternoon like I am a chauffeur. You guys just get to sit in the back and play and watch fun shows. Now hop up and see the fairness in that!”
Pips — I get it.
Dash’s Maypole Dance
Compared to last year, Dash has very few times I get to see him perform at school.
So when I was invited to his “May Pole” celebration, he counted down the days.
He first sang some songs.
And then came the May pole.
The cutest part, was that every time he walked where he could catch my eye….there he was grinning from ear to ear.
Afterwards, I told him that he was best the best ribbon dancer I have ever seen.
He said “No I’m not. The girls were better.”
I refused his answer…and reassured him that it was him.
Still A Finger Sucker
Right as Pippi was going to put her finger in it’s usual place, I talked to her about trying to give up finger sucking.
(Let’s be honest — her habit isn’t helping her god-given buck teeth out.)
She thought about it…
Then figured I might not see her answer if she looked the other way.
