HOT has so many meanings!

Braydon asked me yesterday the meaning of the word HOT. I proceeded to explain to him that is meant the temperature of the object was really great. Food can be very hot when it comes out of the oven. And when I cook on the stove the burners can get very hot.

He replied to me, "No mom when a PERSON is hot." Idiot me, I said that when a person is hot sometimes we will open a window, or turn on the air conditioner. He looked at me with a blank stare. I then realized what he meant.

I explained to him that when you think a person is very cute sometimes you say they are HOT. I then asked who was saying that someone was hot? He replied that his TEACHER was very hot!!!! He has been in school for TWO months. I asked if anyone else was hot ans he told me Jessie and Emily N. from his class. I have no idea who these girls are, but they are so cute he won't even talk to them.

SPIRITS

Our family has been to ALOT of funerals in the past year. After about 3 funerals Braydon started asking about death. I decided I would teach the boys what happens to the body and spirit at death at our next family home evening. I demonstrated how the body is like a glove and our spirit is like our hand. The spirit can move, but that it needs a body to protect it while we are here on this earth. When we die the spirit leaves the glove or body to be buried here on the earth, but that the spirit goes to live with Heavenly Father. I thought that they understood the whole concept. Braydon and T.J. both asked very good questions. All in all I felt like my boys really understood.

In the past month we have again been to 2 more funerals. Again the questions came up. So we had a quick review. After going to the viewings and explaining that the spirits are in heaven with Heavenly Father, and the bodies are sleeping and will be buried in the ground till their spirits reunite with them again I could see on their faces that they understood.

A few days latter at breakfast T.J. announced that he knew how the spirit got out of the body. I asked how. He replied," through the lines in your armpit!" Braydon jumped right in and said' "No T.J. It is through the bellybutton." What is it with the bellybutton?

Now if you ask T.J. to lift his arms he won't. He wants to stay here on earth with mom and dad!

Kids Say the FUNNIEST Things

Braydon and T.J. were in the tub on night this past summer. I over heard them talking about their bellybuttons. Braydon has an innie, and T.J. has an outie. Braydon was telling T.J. that as we grow our bodies change. They were discussing how they wanted to grow up to be like their dad. Braydon said to T.J., "As we get older our bellybuttons fall off, and they all become an innie!" Where do they get these things from?

Food Storage Analyzer

I have been trying to build up my food storage for quite some time now. I have been to a few sites that have tools to analyze the contents of my food storage, but nothing like the one at Emergency Essentials. Emergency Essentials has a cool new tool called the Food Storage Analyzer on their site.

I had a great time analyzing my food storage today. You just input how much food you have stored, and walla it computes how long you can survive, & the nutritional value you need to survive. I just imputed the food in my pantry, and to my surprise I have food for my family for 208 days! I thought maybe 3 months at the most, but hey we are doing better than I thought. The Analyzer also allows you to purchase from their site. Emergency Essentials has a lot of foods no longer offered and the cannery. Check it out. It was simple, and very user friendly.
