Grab me! I can't STOP!!!


So T is just loving her Rollerblades she got for Christmas. The only thing is that they don't have any kind of brake. Her last pair had a small black brake pad on the back. What's up with that?
S and I were discussing it. Do the really great Rollerbladers swish like skiers so they don't need a brake? Do they turn sideways to stop? Am I supposed to buy a separate special brake depending on the kind of rollerblading aI am planning on doing? (Trick rollerblading, speed???)
Seriously, if you know tell me! Cause my only suggestion for T is to hold on to someone who is not rollerblading, or walk down the huge hill on the neighbors grass.

Church..ahhh feel the reverence.

So last week we were a few minutes late to church. It was fast Sunday and our ward was packed with visitors for baby blessings and a baptism. We squished into a row in the overflow with only 5 empty seats--assuming Gdog would sit on someone's lap. S was still printing out his lesson at the house when we left, so he was a few minutes behind us. When he arrived he opted for a seat 2 rows in front of us. (Hey is there room up there for me? How did I end up with all the kids. :))

Just after the sacrament, Gdog realizes Daddy is sitting in front of us. "Hey" he whispers. "Hey Daddy" (getting to the full volume of whisper) "Hey Daddy!!" S afraid of the ramifications of not acknowledging him, turns and smiles.

This however does nothing to discourage Gdog."Daddy we are back here. Can you see me?"

Now S knows if he doesn't respond there will be more people listening to the discussion than the row in between us, so he responds whispering "I see you Gdog. I have to sit here because there is not a chair for me back there." Gdog looks around, then moves to the other side of M. He taps the teen sitting next to M (who BTW is visiting, not a member of our ward). Then in the loudest mad whisper his 4-year old self can muster he says "You have to move." She smiles trying to hold in a laugh. "Now! That is my Daddy's chair and you took it."
