Aarastas and Sarsosari

Hello!
We had a busy week. Just about every day someone asked me to watch their kids. Arwen loved it--she loves to play! I had book club on Tuesday. We chose the book, "The five people you meet in Heaven." It's pretty good. Friday night some friends came over and we played two new games called Ticket to Ride and Bohnanza. They were pretty fun. We've done okay at potty training Arwen. But lately she just pees in her underwear. So now she's in a diaper again. The big problem is now she hates being wet and demands a new diaper every time she pees. Ahhhhh!!!

Conference was fun, we listened on the internet. I look forward to downloading the mp3’s so I can listen on the way to work. I worked on some leaf boxes during conference as well as making a video for Arwen and Noah and I noticed how green and nice our grass was in some of the pictures. It’s started raining this weekend, hopefully our grass will come back. Sarah pinched a nerve in her back, I told Arwen and Noah to let her take it easy, we’ll see how that goes. Poor Sarah.

Arwenisms:
Arwen was singing into a cup one night at dinner. Aaron started to do it too. Arwen put her cup down and said, "Stop Dad. That's a poopy song."
She's made up a new word--at least she thinks it's a new word--Donkey. She says, "Oh Donkey Noah." and "You're a donkey." And she yells it when she's mad. I can't tell if it's a bad word or not--I think it's a very versatile word! This morning she was squeezing Noah's cheeks and she said, "Squeaky Donkey No's!"

Noahisms:
He points like crazy now. It's so cute!
He opens and closes his hand to wave at you now and says, "Hi." in his cute little Noah voice.
His new favorite word is "Uh Oh!" He says it all the time. The other day he threw his pancakes on the floor on purpose and yelled, "uh oh!" What a silly.
He has finally started to pull himself up on furniture.
He tries to stick toys in the VCR.
He threw one of Arwen's play coins down the heater vent today.
Yesterday we caught him trying to stick his fingers in the one socket that doesn't have one of those plastic protectors on it! He's pretty mischievious!!

Have a great week! Love, NASA
