With Jug being back at the office, Abbie and I are getting LOTS of quality one-on-one time. It's a good thing...I've always enjoyed having conversations with my children and hearing what's on their mind. I haven't always been good about documenting them...but I am trying to do better. I thought this recent discussion on last week's primary lesson was definitely noteworthy!
Abbie: Mom, did you know last time in my primary class...not my singing primary class...but the other one, we 'watchded' a movie?
Me: Really?
Abbie: Yep, and it was about the guy Joseph Smith and the Secret Grove.
Me: Wow. How did you like it?
Abbie: It was really cool, and did you know that before Heavenly Father and Jesus showed up, Satan showed up before them?
Me: I know...that would have been kind of scary huh?
Abbie: Yes, because Satan is super mean and I don't like him.
Me: Uh Huh...then getting cut off...
Abbie: And so anyway...that is a very special place the secret grove is.
Me: You are right...and did you know Abbie, that I have been there?
Abbie: YOU HAVE?! When?
Me: When I went to New York last summer with Daddy and Reed. It is a very special place, and it is very pretty.
Abbie: Sigh...Alright then...I guess I will change my plans. So this year for my birthday, FIRST we will go to Chuck E. Cheese's, SECOND we will go to the Secret Grove and THEN we will go to Cael's House. Don'tcha think that sounds like a good plan?
I actually did think it sounded like a pretty good plan!

What a cutie! Such great plans!
hope she invites us! =)
What a sweetie pie! When Kloe was little she thought Satan's name was "Playton"...so that's what we call the evil one in our house...Playton
It's good to see Cael is still in the top three. Did you ever see my status on facebook a few days ago? I mentioned you regarding Cael! :)
This is a family party year! right?! I didn't realize that Addi needs to start working on her status :( Either way we will be there . . .
That is so cute! I love her plans! (Oh by the way, this is Audrie! :) ) I think I could get away with sneaking into one of your bags, right?
I need to check blogs more often, they make my day! Abbie, you are a sweetheart! Make sure you keep these things written down, they are priceless!
Little children amaze me and Abbie is just too cute, especially her cute sayings.
