Squeek?

I've been mourning the loss of a little critter of late. I don't know why I am so sad about it. It's just a mouse! I'd probably scream or freak out if I saw it in my kitchen or something. So here's the story:

Troy took Kira out on the porch the other day and saw a little fuzzy mouse rubbing his whiskers and basking in the sunlight. He stepped on it and it crunched under his foot. The story gets worse. Kira only said one word, and I think it was a question, "Puppy?".

Birds, Bees and Scripture Study

We were reading the scriptures last night about Lehi's family going to get Ishmael's daughters. I was trying to explain this to my children and Douglas seemed to get it first as he quoted some Qwest commercial, "They need to get connected". It was hilarious.

T.J. is in a confused state right now about a few things. It's probably time to have "the talk" with him. Douglas and TJ were having a conversation over lunch. It went something like this,

D: Can I have a baby when I grow up?
T: No, Douglas. Only girls can have babies when they grow up.

Good answer, but then he continues...

T: That's why boys go on missions when they are 19. If girls went on missions when they were 19, they could just start having babies on their missions.

A few weeks later, we did a special fast for my neice Holly who is on a mission in Pennsylvania. TJ was confused that girls could go on missions. I told him how they could go if they weren't married. He seemed a little better with that being said, but maybe it's time for a little more education. He's only 10. Is that too young?

Also, an update on the house. Looks like we'll be closing next week instead of this week. I also start school next week. Should be interesting.
