I Spy With My Little Eye

Annie loves to play "I Spy" on any and all car trips. Tonight, while driving to Sunday Dinner at Greg's parents house was no exception. After several rounds of all of us taking turns "spying" something for the others to find, Annie decided it was my turn to 'spy' again, announcing, "OK Mom, I Spy with YOUR little eye . . . "

Which led me to point out the Draper Temple, way up on the mountain. Upon finding it, Annie enthusiastically shouted, "I 'member! I went to the Draper Temple!" After reflecting for a few seconds she added, "Yeah, Jesus lives there . . . "

Being pretty tired after a long week (or month) of illnesses, I tried reclining my seat back in the car a little to see if I could catch a quick nap, then worried I might be encroaching on Annie's space, said, "Annie, did I squish your feet back there?"
A little voice whimpered from the back seat sadly, "Yeah."
"Sorry baby," sitting my seat back up quickly," I didn't mean to!"
A few seconds later, a happy voice demanded, "Mom! Squish my feet again! Squish them!"
I spent the rest of the drive listening to, "Squish my feet Mom!! Squish them again!"

Ha-ha! If Annie loves I Spy, you have to go to the BYU Museum of Art. They have a special exhibit downstairs that is Walter Wick (who does the I Spy books). My kids loved it--they are still talking about it. Best part? It's FREE!
