Abe's last day of school was Friday. His school had an end of school dinner Friday night. His teachers had put together a really lovely slide show to remember the year and the students. Becky got a little teary during it. Every child truly is a beautiful miracle and blessing.
We thought Helen was taking a nap Saturday afternoon. In reality, she was shredding through her bedroom with a pair of scissors, most notably cutting up her sheets and Sophie's doll's hair. Sophie was very philosophical about her doll losing half her hair and didn't get mad at Helen. Later Sophie evened Annamarie's hair into a cute bob. Scary comment from Sophie when she finished: "I want to cut more hair." No more scissors in the bedroom! And we still think Helen is a miracle and a blessing.
Becky helped get ready for our stake Girls' Camp by making body glitter. It was very easy and turned out very cool. She mixed a bottle of aloe vera gel with a bottle of extrafine glitter.
Here's a close up. She used aquamarine crystal glitter which made a terrific serpentine shade. Now the hard part -- to package it into 128 small containers.
Things are pretty electrically energetic here as we look forward to our trip to Nauvoo this week. We'll post photos when we get back.

Great idea for the body glitter. I'm waiting for the day when I'll walk in on Salem with scissors. So far the worst has been walking in on her drawing with a dry erase marker all over the hard wood floors. Have a wonderful trip!
