"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Unrelated

Today, while eating lunch, E and M were trying to explain to me what the priesthood was.  (No, it was not quiz time, E and M just come up with interesting lunch topics all on their own.  One of M's favorites goes like this:  "Mom, is warm, warm?  Is cold, cold?  Is hot, hot?")  Anyway, as I was saying, they were both trying to tell me what the priesthood was.

Said E:  The priesthood is something that makes prayers go faster.

In the car, while running errands at 1:00 pm (dangerous since nap-time is at 2:00 pm) GQ pulled his now famous trick.

He asks for a book.

He holds it up in front of him so that I can't see him in the rearview mirror.

And then he goes to sleep.

He does this often on Sundays after Church, and he totally did it to me today.

The little trickster.

Yesterday at rehearsal (2 hours and 15 minutes long) M decided the best way to close out the time there was to take off her leotard and tights and run around the room naked.

Yep, that's my child.
