"In words, like weeds, I'll wrap me o'er,
Like coarsest clothes against the cold"

Seth's parents stayed over last night en route from their trip to Phoenix. They came just as the kids were getting ready for bed, so we let Charlotte hug them and say "nite-nite" and Grandpa told Isaiah a long, happy story about Phillipo the Rat and his hunt for magnificent costumes. Isaiah was thrilled about this, since he has been costume-obsessed for months. For so long it was Batman, then Poison Ivy until yesterday, when he decided to dress up like Avatar, a cartoon martial-arts character. This morning Grandma helped a giddy Isaiah get dressed in his church clothes, and sang hymns with him in sacrament meeting, where he made up all new words to the songs.
