Ward Party and Trip to the Moon


So my daughter learns a lot from her cousins. This is the painting that she sold me today for 1 cent. Thankfully she doesn't know current market value. It won't be long though before I can't afford her work. Seriously, can't you see the potential there?


Yesterday we had way too many things scheduled. Ward party, basketball game, two hours of gymnastics....So we ditched it all and went to the ward party. The kids had a great time. Though if you had talked with Ali beforehand you would be wondering, where is her kitty costume? Last minute wardrobe change, twenty minutes of tears, trying on all costumes in the house, and finally we have an Indian Princess. I know, Indian Princess you say? That is what she declared herself as while wearing the pink flapper dress so we just went with it.


Carter happily declared he devoured his donut on a rope faster than anyone else in his age group. The talent of my children will never cease too amaze me.


This is our Jedi Knight Tyler looking much like an actual Jedi Knight. I am not sure if the hand position was intentional or not but it makes him look totally authentic. He does have the power to change your thoughts, unfortunately it is not the force but those lashes that he bats at you while he is talking that usually turns things his way.


So, the going rate of a trip to the moon was $200,000.00 but I read recently there has been a price decrease. Now it is only $104,000.00 for the opportunity to ride along in the space ship and go to the moon. Well, at that bargain of a price we sent two of our kids and a cousin. While they were up there we threw in an extra hundred thousand and had them stop by at Mars. They had a blast walking on the surface of the moon....though you can see that they took it very seriously by the expressions on their faces.


I thought for that price they would throw in space suits, but alas they had to pay an extra fee to stow their luggage and there was no dinner served.
