That said the kids on their own decided that we were sitting on the VERY FRONT ROW of Sacrament meeting. Is this a good idea? I think not. Jacob kept successfully leaving the chapel out the side door, and Caleb put on a break dancing show for the entire chapel. We are definitely back row slackers, but there is a reason for it, definitely a reason.
Beth loves all things art, and is an art elective right now at school. This means she does art every day. It may be clay or sculpture or something, since she keeps bringing home clay projects. Point is that she is having a blast. She's also in French right now. And no, I'm not hearing anything about French. It must not be as fun.
Caleb got a pair of walkie talkies for his birthday. He constantly has one of them hooked to his pants, and then is attaching the other one to Jacob or Beth or me. They aren't usually turned on, because they make this static noise, but suddenly you'll hear a shout "Turn it on, Mom" which is then followed by a brief but very important walkie talkie conversation. He also got a pair of binoculars and has taken to spying on the house across the street from us at odd hours. Fortunately, nobody lives there--otherwise we could be in trouble.
Jacob is super sweet. He loves to snort when he laughs, and just snort in general. He also loves to pretend to be a ghost which involves covering his head, and walking around going "ooooh, ooooh." The other option is a monster which involves roaring and grabbing at your face and then giggling. Last night he came walking into our room at about 11:00 carrying his little puppy dog just looking so sweet. He's my first that has a definite attachment to stuffed animals.
As you can see below Rob took the kids to the museum alone yesterday so that I could go to the Stake Relief Society meeting. It was wonderful--for me anyway. The kids each had a specific thing to tell me. Beth told me about some fly that eats ants brains and makes the head fall off. Caleb told me about the dinosaurs and the donuts. Jacob just came in, patted my leg and lifted his arms up so that I'd give him a big hug and snuggle. Rob took a nap.
That's about it for us Caldwells. See ya next week!

We are back row slackers too. To actually get a bench in our ward, you have to sprint down the hall or leave class early to beat the throngs. Doesn't work when you have to pick someone up from nursery :) It was fun to chat a bit at the relief society thing. I meant to tell you thanks for letting us read your book - which we haven't done yet, but are excited to. We are going to take it to Fla. with us :)
