8 Things that Happened Yesterday
- remembered the mirror for my Sharing Time activity just as we pulled out of the driveway to head to church
- reminded myself to practice the piano so we don't have to sing acapella during sacrament meeting any more (our branch is tone deaf, bless their hearts)
- had our awesome missionaries over for dinner and conversation
- confiscated the scissors from Ellie, but not before she lopped off her Gettysburg doll's hair
- cleaned up poopy messes from both my kids
- listened to Jeff tell me stories from President Faust's biography
- played sorry! with Alex and Jeff until our cat ran across the board and scattered all the pieces
- felt really grateful for Sundays

8 Things I'm Looking Forward To
- being with my parents and brother for 8 days
- seeing Wicked in London next month
- homemade curry at Sangeeta's on Wednesday
- the end of the rain so we can play at the park
- branch cowboy party
- sorry! rematch with alex and ellie this afternoon
- a big pile of books from my family back home
- a warm slice of homemade bread for lunch

8 Things on My Wish List
- two children who stay asleep all night on the same night
- a self-cleaning car
- the ability to pause time
- a fabulous new bag
I'd better not push it by asking for more.
