Another fun day with my boys! Last night we made fortune tellers! Do you remember those? They are these things made out of paper that you pick a number from, than a color, and than you open the little flap and it says something.

We wrote things like "Your feet smell", and "You watch TeleTubbies", and "You like to eat fish eyes", etc. You guys were doing them all night and we were all laughing so hard ... especially Sammy!

I love it when you boys laugh. I hope you always keep that sense of humor that you have. I hope you always remember that it is so important to be able to laugh at yourself. First of all, there is no one else who will create more opportunities for you to laugh at than yourself! Believe me, I do so many goofy and even dumb things throughout the day that I have more chance to laugh at myself than anybody! Second, it disarms others who try to use insulting humor to bring you down. There are a lot of insecure people who do this. They make jokes at your expense b/c they figure that if they can make you look dumb, it makes them feel better about themself. But when you laugh too, they don't know what to do. But, when you rip them back, than it shows that it really bothered you.

It's tough to know how to deal with people who are mean! But, one thing I do know for sure, the ability to laugh is a great asset! The Bible even says that "laughter is a good medicine!" I like to think of it as a vitamin, too. Medicine cures sickness, but vitamins prevent them. Learn to enjoy laughter! Don't laugh at others' expense, but just learn to laugh at life, at troubles, at things that go wrong, at how crazy circumstances are, and at yourself!

We have so much fun together at home. You boys are so funny and you make me and your Mom laugh so much! I hope you can take that with you where ever you go!

I love you Noah and Sammy!
