Scattered Thoughts

1. A few days ago at JoAnn's I was constantly telling Enoch to stay by me (I hate taking him to that store!) After a few minutes of me yelling his name every two seconds a woman approached me and asked, "Is your son's name Enoch?" I answered yes. She told me she also had a son named Enoch. We laughed and said almost at the same time, "I think you're the only other one I know of."

2. We are so sad that BYU is out of the NCAA basketball tournament, but we can't be sad about their terrific season. It was so great to see BYU do so well and fight back from some major adversity. We loved all the national attention the team and Jimmer got. The hardest part of the loss to Florida was knowing that that was the last time we would see Jimmer in a Cougar uniform. Go Cougars!

3. Greg and I have been busy building furniture for our bedroom remodel. We have completely changed our room. We are in the process of making a storage desk. We have finished our bed already and painted the walls. It has been a lot of fun working together on this project. Greg is such a perfectionist that the paint and furniture look great!

4. I took a bit of a break from sewing after Christmas and found that I really missed it. I've made a list of what clothes Enoch and Kate need for the summer and which ones I'm willing to sew. Kate needed a dressier white shirt. I used and Oliver + S pattern (so amazingly incredible, I loved it) to make this shirt. I probably should have made it a size bigger, but oh well. The shirt has pin tucks, buttonholes and a collar. It is quite detailed and definitely the most difficult thing I've sewed for Kate. I'm really happy with how it turned out.



5. Our family cleaned the church this morning. Enoch and Kate love cleaning the church. Gavin's goal is to be in and out in 30 minutes (it usually take more like 90). Enoch and Kate head straight for the janitor's closet and pull down the fuzzy dusters. They get right to work on dusting lamps, tables and pictures. I had Enoch help dust in the chapel where I was vacuuming. I had finished vacuuming all the side pews when I realized Enoch had used the extendable rod on the duster and was cleaning out all the can lighting fixtures on the sides of the chapel. I suppose they really needed it because I had to revacuum all the benches because they were covered in dust. When we are all done cleaning we let the kids blow up a latex glove and take it home. Such fun!
