We were listening to a general conference 2004 cd and the brother talks about one f.h.e. that they drew names for secret friends and then all week you did something nice or gave something to that person, secretly.
D wanted to do this SOOOOOOOOOOOO bad, so we did it this last monday. yesterday morning D ran into me and asked me how to spell secret friend. (he has dad) he was beaming from ear to ear and secretly showed me what he was up to. a note to put on an ENTIRE can of pringles for dad, out of the pantry. I was giggling so hard. After i helped him he asked where to put it, i said the seat of the car, so he will find it when he leave to work. Then we announced that tomorrow (being today) we would do a service for our secret friend. Do you know what he thought of?!?!?!?!?! To wash dad's truck so it is all shiney and new!!! So, we did that this morning before he went to school because i wouldn't be able to do it after because of piano. So, the truck is all shiney and the tires are even shined, and it is parked in the garage just for dad to see! D is soooo excited to see his reaction.
He also was asking me this morning what my secret friend (brad, which i already know he is mine) gave me yesterday and i told him that i think mine forgot or they hid it really good because i didn't find anything. He marched right off, i didn't now why. Then alter today, after washing the truck and our water fight, i went in the bathroom to change clothes. Brad had left me a note on the mirror in dry erase marker "Sorry i missed you yesterday! Smile, I love you. Have a great day! Keep your eyes peeled, your secret friend will strike soon!!!" I giggled again, and then dalton walked in. He said, "Dad is in SOOOOO MUCH trouble huh mom? That marker is never going to come off!!!" Again, another giggle. So i called brad just a minute ago to tell him to buy butter before he came home. I was telling him what dalton said, and he laughed and said that this morning dalton came in and chewed him out for forgetting to do something for me yesterday and that i was very sadd!" We were just dying! He sure keeps track of everything in that little brain of his!
