Monday



Yummy decided to climb upstairs and give himself a bath, fully clothed.
Of course, he did this 5 minutes before we were supposed to be leaving
for school.

I am usually exhausted by the time Monday morning rolls around.  Weekends are not quiet around our house, and this weekend was no exception.  It rained hard (but no basement flood), so Avery's soccer and Isaac's football games were cancelled.  Instead, we spent Saturday morning watching "Cheaper by the Dozen" and "Cheaper by the Dozen, 2".  The kids think they are hilarious, and I think they are both pretty entertaining.  Then it was off to work doing Saturday chores with Dad.  John gracefully let me take a nap, since I am still feeling a bit under the weather. 

Then Saturday night I attended the Relief Society General Broadcast.  It really was a treat.  I love listening to inspired women talk about our role, and our responsibilities as women.   Great stuff.  Then we got to listen to Elder Uchtdorf, one of the apostles.  He is truly a man of God.  His talk was both inspirational and comforting, as he talked about 5 things we should never forget.   The Spirit was strong and it was wonderful.

Yesterday, the kids spent all morning coloring and cutting out and taping, making puppets for their puppet show.   They made a huge mess, but had fun.



This started out all in fun, and I am choosing to believe that it ended that way.



With these two, you never know.
