Oopma Loompa and the Temple?!?!

A few days ago, Cameron had ravioli for lunch. He got it everywhere! I knew he would, but I also knew it was something he would eat. So the opportunity cost of his eating it was small (did that sound nerdy?). Anyway, when it was over, it was hard to get the orange sauce off of his face, especially since scrubbing would be involved. So I left him. As an oompa loompa. What a freaky movie Willie Wanka is. Anyone else agree?

We went to the Chicago Temple with our neighbors yesterday. They watched Cameron while we did some sealings and we watched their son, Chris, while they did a session. Here is what transpired...

We had a picnic

The boys played

Cameron made some weird faces

We walked around

I decided a walk in the grass was a good idea

Then, remembering how it has rained the past 4,000+ days and noticing that the grass was soaked, I decided the walk in the grass wasn't such a fun thing.

I tried to console Chris when he was upset cause his mom and dad weren't there. We had some good talks about being a good example to Cameron since he's younger than Chris (about 10 months) and how he needs to be a good big boy cause he will have a younger brother next month. Yeah, I don't know how much of that sunk into a 2-year-old's brain, but it stopped him from crying. I tried.

We looked up at Moroni, whom Chris promptly told us was up there (smart little kid).

We played by one of the fountains

Cameron and dad played by the fountain near the front of the Temple

We took a rest from the long day

And it was a long day. Both boys missed their naps and really paid for it later that night. But, I'm still glad we got to go!
