Sunday, November 23rd, by Warren Smith

Today, they called two new Sunday School teachers. That means that I am no longer needed as a substitute. Sad. But, that meant that I was able to attend primary. Emily is a jewel. Last night we were up until past midnight reading. I asked her what she needed to do for primary today. Her response was, "Just prepare a singing time." That sounded simple enough. She drew a large turkey cutout with songs names and dozens of cutout feathers. The children were playing a pin-the-feather-on-the-turkey-to-pick-the-next-song game. When did she do that?!? Is there some slow-down-time-so-that-I-can-create-a-cool-craft-for-primary machine that I don't know about? If there is, I totally want to know about it.

After church, we came home to see HOWARD! It's been a great day. Right now he's out with Leah, who is teaching him how to drive. Howard just got his motorcycle license in Texas, but it turns out that you need a normal driver's license first. No problem. They just gave him a normal driver's license. (Without an exam.) He doesn't know how to drive, of course, so Leah is teaching him now. (In defense of the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, they did put a restriction on his license that someone 21 years or older needs to be in the car.)

Lately, Diana is showing motherly tendencies. By that I mean, she wants to be the one feeding other people and holding the tissue to other people's noses. Today, when we were putting her to bed, she opened a drawer and found a bottle of skin lotion. Then she insisted on putting it in my mouth like a bottle over and over again. That was cute. Then she learned to take the cap off. I had to draw the line somewhere, and globs of pink skin lotion in my mouth seemed as good a line as any other.
