Cleaning the Shower

My showers don't get cleaned nearly often enough and I've discovered why.  As I scrubbed my shower Thomas kept himself busy near my side.  He played with the shampoo and the soap containers and I kept thinking, thank goodness he's not opening anything.  Then he decided to dump the comet in the tub but of course I just thought it was helpful and I scrubbed away.  Then I got really into and stopped paying quite so much attention.  Therefore...he used Scott's toothbrush and the handsoap to clean the sink, sampling and spitting occasionally, he found the Windex and started spraying the curtains and wiping them clean with his hands (I was quick to take care of that), he found the Windex again and sprayed the sink - to clean it of course (quickly taken again), he found the Windex again (I know, seriously I need to put things away better - in my defense, they usually locked under the cupboard, but I was cleaning!!) and started heading out the door - this time I really put it out of his reach so he switched to the toilet paper.  I kept thinking - just hurry and finish!  If you don't finish now you won't finish it at all!  So while I hurried to finish he took trains of toilet paper - which I kept reaching over and breaking off - out the door to who knows were.  In the meantime Ashley decided she needed to go potty so she took care of business and just in time Tommy was back for more TP and noticed the open toilet, so in went his hands, post flush thank goodness.  Again, I stopped that, washed the hands and went back to work...so did he with more toilet paper.  Finally I finished and rinsed everything and popped my two littles into the tub to enjoy that nice clean slippery tub and then went to clean up the missing toilet paper.  I found it of course clogging the other toilet with puddles of water around the outside.  Luckily, he's now in the tub and that toilet was cleaned previous to the shower debacle.

Phew...any questions about why my showers don't get cleaned very often?

San Diego Temple June 17th

Our first stop (other than hotel) in San Diego was the temple.  It was beautiful and wonderful to be there with my beautiful family.  Isabelle was the photographer for most of the pictures because I sat in the car with a sleeping Tommy for a while.  We rolled down the windows and enjoyed the delightful San Diego breeze and a spectacular view.  

When I was in high school our A Capella choir came to San Diego on tour.  We happened to be here during the temple open house.  We were able to tour the temple and it was amazing.  I decided I wanted to marry a California boy so I would have a reason to get married here.  I ended up finding my California boy but since he and his family had moved here, it wasn't logistical to get married out of state.  :) 

Temple Square

We went to Temple Square this year during the day. We enjoyed walking around (even thought it was cold), checking out the view from the top of the Joseph Smith Building, and seeing Ashley's temple. She loves to see her temple and has decided that her favorite song is "I Love to See the Temple".
