We have enough interest that the Peep Show will go on! It will be smaller than previous years, but that is okay. :)
All-O-ver, Ol-i-vore . . . we're learning that Oliver's name has some fun mispronunciations.
Also, ask him what is name is and this is what you'll hear: "My name is Oli . . . Oli . . . Oliv . . . Oli . . . I don't know."
Here I am at SFO. Again. What should have been a 40 minute layover has turned into a 5 hour layover with merely a possibility of getting on the red-eye at 10:30. Flying standby. And if I don't get on the standby flight . . . they tell me my next shot at JFK isn't for 24 hours. Yeah. So let's hope that doesn't happen. And if I don't get on standby, well, there's got to be another way home.
S: Oliver, Is Mom a child of God?
O: Yes!
S: No, Mom is a grown up!
The one night -- ever -- when Micah and I get to bed at 10:00 and could, feasibly, get 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, Simon wakes up crying inexplicably at midnight and can't go back to sleep, Oliver falls out of bed, and we're all out a couple of hours of sleep. Clearly we need to never try to go to to bed early. It's the only way to get a good night's sleep around here.
The Peep Show. And prizes. Last year we had prizes donated by various people and that seemed to work out pretty well. The winner got a logo designed by Micah, second prize got a scarf, and next time we’re in Utah we’ll be getting backflip lessons, I believe.
And so we’re thinking of doing that again. We already have someone willing to donate a handmade felt crayon roll, so you can keep your crayons nice and organized while you doodle during sacrament meeting. I mean, your kids can keep their crayons nice and organized . . . .
We’ll come up with something to donate as well. And we invite anyone else who is feeling crafty or generous to donate a prize. And we’ll have as many prizes as there are donations. The winner of the Peep Show will get to pick first, second place picks second, and so on down the line. Good idea? Bad idea? I’m all ears.
Also, we’re thinking of extending the deadline through Sunday, April 4th for the simple reason that sometimes General Conference is a good time to work on projects and a Peep Show might be a fun conference project. What do you think?
Will & I are looking forward to participating…. I will see if I can think of some honorable prize donation as well.
Sounds like a great idea! I can't wait to see all of the different entries!
