Chinese Souvenirs and Leather Pants

Today's not-so-favorite moments included . . .

Today's favorite moments included . . .

. . . visiting Red Grandma.  It was fun to play with her in the backyard.

. . . reading a quote from Brigham Young about motherhood.  It really applied to some struggles I've had lately.

. . . admiring Anna's cute toes.

. . . a sweet neighbor boy bringing us some souvenirs from his recent trip to China.

. . . watching a fun movie clip from What A Girl Wants.  The film as a whole was cute but very predictable, yet I still smile every time I think of Colin Firth getting in touch with his inner hooligan after spending the afternoon with his teenage daughter.  Search YouTube for "Colin Firth leather pants," and this is one of the first videos that comes up.

Also, you know you're not a kid anymore when you care more about who 40-year-old Mr. Firth hooks up with than whether things work out between the teenage star and her love interest.
