Isaac is growing up to be a funny boy! He is busy and curious, like most 18 month old boys. He loves to color but doesn't understand the concept of keeping it on the paper, like most 18 month old boys.:) Last month, I took Bjorn and Isaac to the Oquirrh Temple Open House. I had Isaac in the stroller and during the movie, I gave him a crayon and some paper to keep him busy. Once we went into the temple, we did a lot of standing and waiting especially since we had the stroller and had to take the elevators. Things were going along pretty smooth and I was feeling happy with myself for taking my boys on my own s
o that they could see what a temple looked like inside. I guess I needed to be humbled or something, because all of the sudden a women leaned toward me and whispered, "your son is drawing on the wall." I looked down and there was Isaac with that darn crayon, a RED crayon, drawing on the nice cream colored wallpaper. It was not a small scribble. He was really doing a number on the wall. My heart dropped and I immediately grabbed a wipe from my diaper bag, removed the crayon from his hand, and began my attempt to get the red mural off the wall. I could just hear everyone thinking "What is that mom thinking? Why would she give her child a RED crayon inside the temple?" I did the best I could, but I
could not get it all off. I told one of the volunteers to make sure someone knew about it and could clean it later. I could just hear her thinking "Yea. sure lady. just move it along." The rest of our temple excursion went fine and despite that little incident, I am glad we went. I wish I had a picture of the actual event artwork, but you'll just
have to use your imagination!

Nice. Isn't that always what happens when we start feeling like really great moms? My friend was just telling me about when she took her kids to the Rexburg temple open house and how one of them, newly potty-trained, peed in the Celestial room. It is why I try not to take my kids anywhere. Especially by myself! You're brave!
Oh, my goodness! I can just imagine your embarrassment! That is too funny (funnier now I'm sure).
Good thing he is so cute so you can't be mad for too long! :)
I'm just happy to hear that that stuff happens to other people too and not just me! I am pretty sure that Heavenly Father has a sense of humor and was okay with Isaac's little contribution to his lovely house.
