That we went to the black tie gala? I found a dress that day at 2:00 p.m.. Crayton called it Telestial. It wasn't as long as he would have liked. Lennon mentioned that my bum is squishing (mash your face up and look pained and you might get a tiny taste of her expression) my legs. She also mentioned that I had red spots ALL OVER (wave your hand over your face with a wide 5 fingered wave, big eyes) my face. Not to worry though, she ended the statement with a shoulder-slumped "poor mommy." Piper was silent and didn't approve of the length of my dress either. So much so, that she didn't want to take a picture of us. The g's were covered for pete's sake. These kids act like I don't have knees. There was more to the evening but i will write about it later. It wasn't the highlight of my life and I'm quite confident that this will be my final black tie gala.

Is It Too Late To Mention?
Is it too late to mention that on March 2, 2009, I turned 31?
How about that my whole week was sprinkled with birthday delight?
Or that I am supposed to be on the road to Utah right this very minute but Lennon has the flu that Piper has had (and is now over) so I am waiting for vomit laundry to finish and then maybe I'll shower, clean, pack and (maybe) leave soon...?
Is it too late to mention that any other significant thing that has happened to me since my last post has been wiped from my brain and replaced with visions of children puking. In. My. Hands. (why don't Ryan's hands instinctively fly up like cups to the faces of our babies when he hears the cough?) I will give him some credit though. When we were doing a middle of the night sniff out to see what all the stink was about (and then we found it ALL OVER LENNON and HER BED, and then we had to cut her unders off and throw her in the shower) he didn't even gag once. I gagged enough for the both of us. It was special. This week has been special.
Is it too late to mention that I'm sorry for leaving that picture of me pulling that face up way too long? Well, I am {very, very} sorry.

I love the things kids come up with. Telestial dress. I will have to remember that for seminary. I was explaining to Rob that even when we are having a bad day, we need to try and be cheerful to others. He said that would be "Facial lying". Gotta love them. I hope you have a safe, vomit free trip to Utah. Laura
You are so funny!! Love the squishy bum! Hope everyone gets well soon!
really, no picture?
of the dress, not the puking.
Yuk. I am sorry the pukes have not left your house yet. And the dress? The ordered one didn't work I take it??? SORRY! :) I was hoping for a sexy pic! (That was weird, you know what I mean.)
Sorry Natalie, I don't have a picture of our matching dresses for your blog, I looked bad in it:) haha, what do you mean your last black tie, aren't you already looking for a dress for next year???
um, yeah, after all of that hoopla about the dress and no picture?? is it because Piper is ashamed? Or is it because you are up to your elbows in vomit?
I'm so sorry about the puking! If you really wanted sick kids, I couldv'e let you off easier with pink eye. ;)
I hope you have a blast in the U. T. Come back and tell me all about it over watery tea....my treat!
Shame on you for not posting a picture of you in the Telestial dress! I was so looking forward to it! It's not too late you know...go throw it on and stand in the middle of all your nasty kid sickness laundry.
I really hope your kids get better soon. We had the other flu, fever, sore throat, cough etc...it took two weeks to get us through it! Sending healthy thoughts your way.
Kobi Yamada was the name of that person who complied the book that I gave to Heather. It was called She. I also have Be and Live Good. I read through Live GOod as I read your post and most of the inspirations would fit, but I thought it would be too corny! Anyway you can google that name and find all sorts of books that you can't live without. Maybe a bit dramatic but...enjoy. Thanks for the great posts. I love to read here.
Happy Happy Birthday you cute girl!! I KNEW when your birthday was...(from previous blogstalking) But, my mind is no longer with me.... I can't seem to remember where I left it. Well, I hope your beautiful family gets feeling better. You'll be in Utah???? If you get a few minutes...I'm not far!!! :)
I hate when kids get sick! Emma was sick this last week too and it was miserable! I love getting puked on!! :) Anyway, I bet you looked adorable in your dress. At least your kids are looking out for your modesty! :)
Nat! Nat! I love your squishy bum and all plus knees! I'm sorry I rarely comment. Little time to read, and no time to type a good comment. I love your goofy face picture by the way. I hope you don't take offense to this, but you could seriously be Natty Who Loo Roo from Whoville. You would be a super star with my kids. I am glad to read we are not the only family with the motto, "You get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" Most excellent! Miss you!
p.s. Happy Belated Birthday! Someone was recently commenting how their birthday wasn't much of anything besides flowers from the husband. I said, "At least it wasn't a toaster!" Wasn't that you a couple years back?
