Rachel asked Grandma what she meant by "playing with buttons." I just had to get out the jar of buttons that I have inherited from Mom. We had a lot of fun putting the buttons in primary classes.
I'll introduce them to baseball later.
All the buttons are ready for Primary.
Recognize any of these buttons? These are just a few that brought back memories. I thought the black one with the sparkles in the middle was beautiful. I remember the red "mother." I used to put little buttons on her "lap" for her to hold.
It didn't take Rachel and Erin Joy long to figure out how to play with buttons. After Primary, the buttons got on the bus all ready for school.
Notice the bracelet Rachel is wearing. That was a surprise in the button jar. It is my old Merrie Miss bracelet. Anybody remember Merrie Miss? Probably not....I really am the old one. Merrie Miss used to be the 11-12 year old primary girls class. We earned "jewels" for our bracelet by doing various projects. I remember memorizing the articles of faith for one jewel, crocheting a pot holder for another, and knitting a hanger for one. I think I had to make bread too.
Ah, such fond memories.....
The girls are still playing with the buttons. I got bored so I took pictures and started blogging. It is a sunny day again! We have had sun all week! I'm going to weed something then take the girls to a park. I need as much vitamin D as I can get before it rains again.

This was the first in a three part series. I haven't watched the other two, but here they are if you are interested:
You'll like it Becky and Doug. They do science experiments in his house. I think I'll get off the computer and clean the toilet now.....
I have no idea why, but it is now letting me put on pictures! I think the pictures of Mallory are just classic, her big, wide, innocent eyes, not protesting, but wondering why she has to go through the grueling picture-taking session with babies on her laps. John sure fell in love with her when he got to take care of her this day. She is a lovable little girl.
I noticed Becky put her progress graph on her blog. I want to be a copy cat. I can't post it to my blog, but I can post it to this blog. There are definite advantages to using blogger. I hope nobody minds if I post it to this blog. There is plenty of room for others to post their graphs too. If you haven't started yet, click this link: Hinckley Challenge and join! It's fun!
Happy Book of Mormon reading!
