Mr. Wise Guy

Jack is growing up in leaps and bounds. Easter revealed yet another tremendous breakthrough for Jack. He had just opened and sampled his chocolate Easter bunny and with a frown said, "It looks good, but it doesn't taste good. It tastes like garbage food." Oh how true! I really don't like to waste money and so the Easter basket for Jack consisted of candy that we had been given, juice boxes, goldfish crackers and a new game. I started feeling kind of badly that I didn't buy little candy bars...nah!

Although we woke up to two inches of snow, Easter morning felt cozy inside and I really enjoyed listening to the conference messages. I have been crocheting. It kept my hands busy and I could still listen. Mr. Wise Guy calls my crochet work "pretend sewing," but he encourages my efforts; "It's so beautiful mommy-you're the most beautiful of 'em all." Oh yes, Jack is wise.

Steve and Jack took a drive to Diamond Fork around noon and they came home with the greatest supply of billowy lichen. Can I even describe how excited Steve was? We had lichen drying all over the place! The afternoon was cloudy and chilly, but we went out for a long walk and came home to hide the Easter eggs and doodle with chalk. We are a family that isn't meant to be inside for too many hours together. So much more happened and was said, but that is the basic sum up to another quick weekend.
