Congratulations Nathaniel!
Nathaniel won the spelling bee at his school and is moving on to the regionals. Suprisingly, he studied very little (he even lost the book with the words he needed to practice for a while). He did get some help though. His great aunt Ginny (she is great, isn't she?) helped him at Granma Linda's B-day. If he wants to do well at Regionals, he is going to have to study more than he did this last time. Labels: Nathaniel, spelling bee
How prettiful!
The other day, Becky decided on a whim to do her nails (a rarity) and pulled out a bottle of polish. Jeremy decided he wanted his nails done too and soon after Dallin and Ammon wanted theirs done as well. Becky obligingly painted the nails of the three boys a nice bright red. Nathaniel was out playing with friends, but I think it is safe to say that even had he been home, he would not have participated in the little nail salon. Later she rounded the boys up and came to pick me up at work (the van was broke and it was a school night for Becky).Becky informed me of the pedi and manicures the boys had. Ammon decided that the nail polish was wearing old and he wanted it off. "I don't want this anymore. I'm going to wash my hands when we get home." That's when we set him straight about the permanency of nail polish and how it requires a special chemical to get it off.Somewhere, somehow, Ammon did manage to get the polish off his finger nails. That Sunday, Ammon was in primary and volunteered for a demonstration in sharing time with the rest of the primary. He had no idea what the demonstration was. Then the primary president asked him to take off his shoes and socks. Since his toenails were covered up, Ammon never bothered to get the polish off his toenails. The primary presidency and the rest of primary were shocked to see pretty painted toenails on Ammon when he took his shoes off. They had not singled him out (Ammon had volunteered) and they had no idea that his toenails were red. Needless to say, everybody got a good laugh out of it.Labels: Ammon, nails, primary
