Sarah Beth and I were at Walgreens today when she decided that she must dye her hair. Now, I do not like dying hair and especially not in 12 year old ladies, but for some reason she hit me right. I have to say no to her alot because she is constantly asking to do something or go somewhere. And this seemed harmless enough and the kit was on sale for $3.50. She chose Strawberry Blonde and we brought home a Blonde in case she chickened out on the Strawberry part. So between digging in the garden I put the dye in her hair and we have a new red head in the family! Zack told her that my red hair was why he married me. So she said, "I want to be mama's daughter!" To which Zack replied, "Don't worry, you already are!!!" If she only knew how much she is just like me she would be very afraid!!
Mary Catherine and Sarah Beth spoke at New Beginnings on Wednesday. MC about Individual Worth and SB about Divine Nature. They did a great job....so cute and sweet. Sarah Beth was honored as the only new Beehive from 2008. Coneen (the president) asked me to write a few words about SB. This is what I wrote:
Sarah Beth is a super sweet . She loves children. She has done more to influence the schedule in our home than anyone. She also appreciates the traditions that we have established in our family. She is very proud of these things. It is diffucult to be lazy with Sarah Beth around, because she is always encouraging us to do something. She is self motivated to do right things. She worked and achieved her Faith in God award almost entirely by herself. She had a deep desire to do good, to follow the commandments, and to learn. Sarah Beth loves to design houses and is thinking of being an interior designer or a pediactric dentist when she grows up. I know she would be wonderful at either one. But, most of all Sarah Beth desires to be a mother. I know that she will be an excellent mother and teach her children many wonderful things. They will be lucky children to have such a mother as she is learning and growing to be. I love her and am so proud of her.
