Church

We were running a bit late (...that's another story...) for sacrament meeting. It was raining and I, the only one, was in a hurry. The 2nd boy spotted a "snake", commonly known as a night crawler in the gutter. He immediately picked it up. While holding the baby I tried to convince him to "put it down and hurry up!" He fully planned on taking it with him. Finally we persuaded him that the worm would be much happier in the grass with all the other worms. This made sense to him and he set it free.

We found our seat. And the meeting proceeded normally, until the sacrament. The deacon took the sacrament tray before the 2nd boy had a chance to properly dispose of his cup. He about flipped out. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he made the saddest face imaginable and cried. Other people noticed the commotion and sent the deacon back for the cup. After depositing his cup and lots of loves from the 1st daughter he was consoled. Peace was restored. (Until Primary)

Folded Books

The 1st daughter and I made these folded books. The library had some on display, so we decided to give it a try. It's lots of fun.

Pictures

Now that's a smile!

Baby Girl loves snuggling with Mommy in her moby.

This is our first Sunday getting ready for church all by ourselves. Everyone helped and we arrived on time.

The First Daughter made lunch between the sessions of General Conference. Yummy! She bakes cookies too.

That's the Bubby we know and love.

The First Son loved flying his kite from grandma and Grandpa.

So sweet!

Games

Now that the children are older, they enjoy playing board games. The Man plays to win. He says that the best way for the children to learn is to loose. He insists they learn from their mistakes. Me, I don't mind loosing--the kids are so happy when they win. Who knows the psychology behind that?

Comment Request

I am requesting comments on the baby bedding post. It took me forever to cross-stitch that blanket, so please say how cute it is.
Many thanks.
