The Black Friday sales weren’t bad around here. I got a few things that we’ve been wanting for a while, for cheap. It was fun, but I can’t say I was as into it as most of the residents of Utah that flooded the stores at 5am if not earlier. Pace was out that early, just because he was still awake, and he said there were people lined up galore outside the stores. A few items I wanted were definitely long gone by the time Rachel, Chase and I straggled in at like 9:30 am. It seems like this would not really be the case, but it appears as though Utahans in general love STUFF!!! Stuff, stuff and more stuff. But one thing I got that I would like to recommend to parents or future parents is this cd I bought for Chase (well, for all of us, really), entitled “A Child’s Prayer.” It’s very peaceful and, as Pace described it, “boring.” But I love it because it makes me feel a little calmer while putting Chase to bed, which is an ordeal since he tends to despise sleep these days. I don’t know if this cd will really make your kids “internalize gospel messages as they fall asleep” as the ad on the Deseret Book website claims, but hey, it’s nice to listen to anyway!
