letter time capsule

Dear Michele,

I thought that 20-40 years from now you'd wonder if you could remember what an ordinary day was like back in 2009 with three boys ages 4, 2, and 1. So just for fun I'll record the events of today.

•fed the boys scrambled eggs for breakfast (Sepa loved it).

•cleaned up the kitchen; started loads of endless laundry.

•went on a walk to the duck pond (they boys rode their bikes while you pushed Sepa in the stroller).

•ate Popsicles

• told Ikaika to just leave Sepa alone by saying,"Kaika, just get away from Sepa." Kekoa then said, " Kaika, flee!"
(That comes from Monday's FHE where we had a lesson on Joseph of Egypt and Potiphar's wife).

• had tuna sandwiches for lunch.

• worked on your rug while Kaika and Sepa napped.

• had Kekoa fold the wash clothes for the first time. He did a great job.

• played "using your imagination" with Kekoa. You went on adventure underwater, rescued some dolphins, fought off sharks, found a treasure, bought magical things, & drained the ocean. You actually were busy on the computer, but Kekoa coaxed you off to join him.

• explained to Kekoa why you have a big scar on your leg and then received a sweet kiss from him.

• discovered that Sepa drew on the refrigerator with crayon and wondered if either of the other boys began that type of creative outlet at such a young age.

• made dinner while trying to keep an eye on the boys who were desperate to go outside.

• recieved two dandlions from Kekoa and one from Ikaika.

• ate Taco salad for dinner as a family. Kekoa mainly ate cheese and guacamole. Ikaika actually ate some meat, cheese and guacamole. Sepa just screamed for everything from his high chair.

• went to the chapel for church business (me for RS and Kyle for bishopric).

• came home and rocked Sepa to sleep. Gave Kaika milk and then rocked Sepa some more.

• By some miarcle all the boys were asleep by 8:30. That never happens.

Enjoy each day. It only happens once.

Sincerely,
Michele

What a great idea for a post. It seems we will always remember each stage in our lives and what we fill our days with, but we just don't unless we write them down! Thanks Michele!

Good idea. I liked trying to imagine you all throughout it. :0)

Mom and I really laughed about the "Kaika flee" story :)
