A few scattered thoughts about our week:
*On the way home from dropping off Gavin at school, Enoch said, "Heavenly Father tells me things in my heart. He only tells me things that are good and true. He told me we need to go boating today." Um, okay. (There was three inches of snow on the ground at it was below freezing.) I was feeling pretty good about what we were teaching Enoch until he got to the lying part!
*I have finished Halloween costumes. What a relief! Enoch's was easy since I just embellished a pajama pattern. Kate's took the longest and I know she so appreciates it because all 20-month-olds know exactly what Halloween is all about (what was I thinking?). I'm quite relieved this is the last costume I have to make for Gavin, because if I have to go through the costume nightmare with him again, he will be going in underwear!
*Kate is constantly running into walls. No joke! It's not from inattention or bad balance, it's because she always has her shirt pulled up over her head trying to get it off. I cannot, cannot, cannot keep clothes on this girl! You would think that she would hate being cold from being naked. Problem solved: she just wraps blankets around herself. She won't keep her diaper on (even taped backwards). I'm breaking out the duct tape.
*Greg and I received new callings a few weeks ago. We are serving in the nursery. We are very excited to be in Kate's class. We have six kids in our class and they are adorable.
*Greg is working horrible hours, but we are just thankful for a job.
*Gavin does homework. Really, that is all he does is homework (2-4 hours a night). He is attending his first Pow-Wow this Saturday and is excited to earn some Merit Badges. He is taking classes in Chemistry, Personal Management and Citizenship of the World.

Love the boating comment, that sounds like Enoch. I want to see Kate running into walls, you would think with such a strict father on clothes that she would love them, hopefully she grows out of it or you guys could be in trouble :)
We did the duct taped diaper thing for awhile...I hate that nakey phase.
Don't worry about the "boating revelation." I am so impressed that Enoch is understanding the impressions of the Spirit. He will need to be able to recognize it in the world he will grow up in. Good job on the Halloween costumes. I did the same thing; the cutest costumes were for little ones. Kate's just going through a phase--I'm sure you know that--this too shall pass (hopefully before she knocks herself out;-) Congratulations on the callings--you'll be great at it. Gavin is maturing. I can hear it in his voice and see it in his pictures and now in his behavior. We're so proud of you, Gavin! We love all of you!
Ava runs into walls, too! And tables, and counter tops. This IS due to inattentiveness and uncoordination. At least she keeps her clothes on. :p
