Boxers

My kids have been asking me approx. 2-3 times a week when we will be going to the temple again. Chet and I have made it a goal to go once a month. It's not the easiest task with our family right now. We have to leave at about 6-7 am and drive 4 hours to Billing, MT. That is too long of a day to leave our kids here, so the boys all travel up there, sit in the car for 2 more hours with their dad eating lunch while I attend the temple, and then we switch places. Not ideal, but it works, and we are committed. So, when we drop Chet off I go to Old Navy with all five boys, and shop their clearance racks. The first few months it was really hard, but we are good at it now. Right before school I bought each boy a package of boxers (they were wearing whitey tightys). Package of two. Well, that is ALL they will wear now! I am constantly gathering boxers to make sure they have them the next day. When we told the boys that we were going to the temple this weekend, they all started cheering. All of them are so excited to go to Old Navy; they don't even care they will be in the car for 10-12 hours, shopping at Costco, eating on the fly (my kids would prefer eat at home, they all boo when I say we are eating fast food, where did these kids come from?!) and no doubt watching Cael new favorite movie AT LEAST once, Little Einstiens, which they all hate and call the baby movie. Aren't we parents of the year! We live such exciting lives that they are THRILLED to be making another temple trip. Chet and I just have to laugh. Like Chet always says, "It's the little things in life!"
