Today for Family Home Evening, we talked to the boys about how our family rules apply to the boys even at friends' houses, and about good and bad touch. Then Nathan said, "and we don't smoke" and Alex added, "and we don't watch wars because then you could start shooting people, like at Trolley Square."

Then we played a game of Settlers and Alex won first, Nathan second and me and Todd tied for last. Usually Todd wins every time, but this time the boys won!



Tonight Nathan said he tried "cooked" chocolate. I asked him what that was and he said one time he had a chocolate gold coin and he put it on the light switch, one without a switch plate, and he saw, heard and felt it zap. I asked him if it hurt and he said it made him crazy. He said he still ate it even though it was cooked.



Thanks to Keri, our bathroom door is now open! Incidentally, do you know how I met Keri? We were having a birthday party for Nathan years ago, and Sydney (her daughter) was in Nathan's nursery class. We went to her house to invite her and it was the last invitation we had to pass out. All the other invitations the boys went to the house, but they were tired so I left them in the car so I could run this last one to the door. While at the door, I heard a loud crash, and looked to see that Alex had put the car in drive and smashed into their garage door. Luckily it didn't fall down. I was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, but they invited me in to figure it out. So, that's how we met.
