Salt and Pepper Shaker Curse

About two months ago, I broke the pepper shaker that we had for the past 10 years. It looked just like the salt shaker on the right. A couple of weeks later, I found a set that was from Japan and used them. It was perfect because Mike served his mission there. A few weeks after, Scotlyn broke the pepper shaker. She was afraid I was going to get mad, but all I could do was laugh. Then just a two weeks ago, my mom and dad were watching the kids, and my mom broke the other Japanese shaker! Again, she thought they were ones that Mike got on his mission, and that I would be mad. Not so! It was just too funny not to laugh. BTW, I only paid a quarter for the Japanese set at a yard sale. So, I found this plastic one at a garage sale, and I will be on the look out for another one to put the salt in so there will be no more salt & pepper shakers brake at this house!

Did you throw the pepper shaker on the ground and drive over it a couple of times to make sure that it really is going to last? I'm just saying... sounds like it's dangerous to be a condiment dispenser at your house.

Entertainment

These photos were taken about a month ago. The snow is now all gone, Yeah! I tried to shovel a path through the snow so the kids could get to the playset to play. When Mason saw what I was doing, he immediatley took over shoveling. He shoveled for at least an hour, piling snow into the grey bucket. If the girls even tried to have a turn, he let them know it was his shovel. I'm sure he felt like he was a backhoe, moving dirt. That is his dream job.

Scotlyn's Birthday Party

Image
Scotlyn's birthday is this coming Thursday, but because her birthday always falls around General Conference time, we try to have her party the week before conference. She has been counting down the days until her party all week. It was a lot of fun, and was so nice to have her party outside this year. Every year on her birthday, the weather has been cold, until this year. This is a picture of her a couple of days ago, when she decided she was going to build a hot air balloon and fly to Salt Lake. She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
