Musical Bedrooms

We've been in a quandary with bedrooms lately. Mostly it's that we want Ruth and Moroni to sleep in their own beds in their own bedrooms. This morning at breakfast Rebekah asked if she could move her things into Rachel's room, since that's where she spends much of her time anyway. Now mind you, I've already suggested this and each time I do, it's met with resistance. I guess now that it's their idea, it's okay. Joseph is taking Rebekah's spot in with Moroni.

The kids spent the time changing rooms this morning. It also took most of the afternoon to clean up the leftover junk from Rebekah's room. We still have to tackle all of the stuff that Joseph left behind and clean up the room for Benjamin and Samuel. And we do need to clean out the room for Mary and Ruth (in hopes that Ruth will finally feel okay about staying in her room).

Moroni really likes the new set up in his room. He was playing in it all day today. When we first cleaned it out and we were getting it vacuumed he was playing on the carpet on his stomach. It looked like he was swimming on it. I joked that he was amazed by the floor since he's never really seen it. Mo, Orion and Ben kept playing hide and seek in the closet. Then Mo would climb onto his bed and pull his blanket up. Then he would climb off the bed and pull the lion onto the floor, then back into the closet he would go... around and around he went.

Unfortunately this afternoon nausea hit quite miserably. I popped a frozen lasagna in the oven and Robert came home and made cheese bread and fed the kids. Ironically, about the time he got home the nausea had gotten considerably better.

For FHE we discussed Elder Hale's and Elder Oaks' talks from this weekend's conference. We also read a quote from the Brigham Young manual about how we shouldn't let our children waste a crumb or crust of bread. Then we took them into the dining room to see the food that didn't get eaten from dinner. Don't know if they 'get it' but we could evaluate that Ruth and Moroni are consistently getting too much food since they always have plenty of food on their plate. Isn't FHE great.
