What is the leading cause of dry skin?

Took me a minute....and now I can't stop laughing!

Seriously, so many uses come to mind. Other than the usual, obvious purpose of relieving moisture, there's this:



What once began its life as a menial washcloth now gets to fulfill the nature of its creation as an adorable bathtime buddy. I wish I could take credit for this, but Emma's activity days group made these Wednesday night and I wish they bred like real rabbits, 'cause now everyone wants one! ( And I don't just mean little sisters!)

And second on the list of other uses (and perhaps more importantly), there's this:



I AM THE LAUNDERER. HEAR ME ROAR.

...Speaking of roaring super-heroes...
I just want to give a little shout out to my cyber friend, Jen, at Jen's Jingle. She's a pretty witty gal, and she always gives me a good laugh whenever I stop by her blog. I think if there was a Busy-ness Contest, Jen would kick my backside. The woman has alot of irons in the fire, as you will read from THIS POST. I admire her so much that I decided to show my appreciation by nominating her (on probably one of the worst weekends possible) for spotlight of the month on the Mormon Mommy Blog site, and she came in third. Which bites. So, I just want to declare my allegiance to my jingling friend by spotlighting her here instead, and Jen, I know you are anxiously awaiting your fabulous door prize, which I fully expect to see you model via photos on your blog when it shows up in the mail. (And standing on the washer/dryer will not be necessary. Hint, hint.)

~~ MEANWHILE ~~

We had a delightful Easter Weekend. Roy and I spent Saturday at the temple and participated in a record-breaking stake event involving more patrons and performing more ordinances on any single day since the temple opened nine years ago. We were able to do the work for many of our very own ancestors that Sara and Anne have found on Family Search. The youth of our stake have been challenged to gain a testimony of genealogy, and the ward that can find the most family names to bring to the temple will win an all-expenses paid dinner provided (and prepared!) by the stake presidency themselves.

My girls are out for steak. And lobster. Or maybe a trip to Italy.

Between the two of them, they have found over 130 names!!! From both my side and Roy's -- and I thought most of my family's work had been done already! We are so excited about their excitement, and more than happy to help them in this endeavor. Going to the temple now has a whole new meaning!
