Tonight
our Mutual was having a Mall find. That
is where different ward members dress up in disguises in the mall and the kids
try to find them. I know it sounds
pretty corny, but we were asked to be some who dressed up. Rick asked what the purpose was and suggested
that the seminary kids have to pass off a scripture mastery scripture when they
found us. She gave everyone puzzle
pieces with a scripture about “finding the lost sheep” or something.
Rick made it really fun and really got into
it. He decided to dress up like the
twenties. Jase looked soooo cute!! He put Jase in black shorts with a white
dress shirt and black suspenders and a black bow tie. Then he parted him hair in the middle and
gelled it back. He looked just like one
of the little rascals. I might have him do that for Halloween instead of the
pumpkin costume I got for him because he looked so cute. Jani wore a little twenties style sun dress
with a sun hat. Rick looked like Jase
with a black hat and glasses. He pursed
his lips and totally acted the part with an accent and everything. I wore a dress and sun hat. We even dressed Jared up in a little bow
tie. We should have done his hair too
but he was asleep when we were getting ready.
We didn’t know we were supposed to
“blend in” at least that is what the others did. One guy had a baseball hat and sat at a table
with a laptop. His wife sat at another
table with a baseball hat sipping a shake.
Another couple separated and wore black leather jackets with these gray
wigs – they looked really good. We
totally stood out of course and were easy to find. Rick was so funny with his part. He made the kids stand up on a bench and
recite scriptures or sing primary songs. Then our family went out to ice cream
amidst all the funny looks. Rick is so
fun to be married to – I couldn’t help but smile every time I looked at
him. In the mall he saw one of his
students and yelled across the court in his accent “Sister _______! ! What are you doing in such a worldly
environment?!” She squinted and then
said, “Brother Jensen????”
Rick had already tucked Janika in and then she wanted me
to. She actually gets back out of her covers so that we can both tuck her in.
When I re-tucked her in tonight she said, "Do you know why I have you and
Daddy both tuck me in?" I said I didn't. She said, "So that one of
you will not feel sad that you didn't get to do it!"
