Today Dan left on another buisness trip. The kids played so well this morning I thought they deserved to get out of the house and have a bit of fun. I decided to tryout our new museum pass, and go to the Dinosaur park in Ogden. The kids were so cute! They held hands and walked all around pointing to new dinosaurs as they spotted them. Kirk was holding onto my fingers pretty tightly. I had to keep reassuring Kate that it was all just pretend, and that the dinosaurs couldn't move. Then very sweetly, Kate would say to Kirk " kirk don't be scared the dinosaurs are pretend." The kids actually enjoyed the museum more this year than when I took them last year. Kirk is really into dino
saur's because he received a few for Christmas last year. Then we went and got dinner at Arby's. Kate said another really cute thing. After she ate all of her sandwich, and fries she said: "thank you mommy for the sandwich and fries I was really hungry." Can you believe that, coming from a three year old! Wow the things your children teach you are amazing. Both of our children have such amazing spirits. We are so blessed to have them! Kirk of course is just his darling little self. He is developing quite a little personality. He enjoys pretending as well. When we were eating 
dinner, I couldn't get him to finish his sandwich (surprise, surprise). But I told him to be a dinosaur and made some eating noises, he then started to pretend to eat the sandwich like a little dinosaur sound effects and all. I was able to convince him to eat most of his dinner, in between bites of ice cream. I know, I know the super nanny would have a heart attack over that tactic. But as a parent I say if it works do it. As our family knows, we will be coming out with a parenting book called the Do's, Dont's, and Doughnut's of Parenting. Maybe our sequel should be called A spoonfull of Icecream helps the vegtables go down. Just kidding. We just had a lesson on mothering in Relief Society. They talked about how we all wish kids came with a handbook. Boy wouldn't that be nice. If my kids had a handbook, I think Kate's would be titled, Fragile: Handle with care. Kirk's on the other hand would be titled: Explosive: Handle with care. I don't mean to sound like Kirk is bad! Just the opposite, it's always an adventure to have him around. It's also fun to see what mood he's in for the day! The other day I kissed him on the cheek, and he cried like I had pinched him or something. Then he continued to rub it off! But there's nothing quite like getting on his good side. The Grandpa's know that. Kirk absolutely loves his Grandpas! He really knows how to make their day. Well It's late, I hope you enjoy seeing the pictures. Today was alot of fun!
