Great Things Keep Happening!

Tonight as the day ends I am feeling so blessed.
Great thing 1- Yesterday morning Chris met with a group of guys from the ward and they went and biked 39 miles. He had such a great time and it was the farthest he has yet biked.

Great thing 2 -Then later that day we got to go on a date because my new companion called me and wanted to watch our kids while we went on a date. I am still in shock about that one. We had such a fun time. We went to COSI and watched a movie called "In To the Alps". It was a documentary about a man who climbed the Eiger, on a huge imax screen and it was incredible. We both are ready to go on a trip to Switzerland.

Great thing 3-We came home and I made hamburgers and we ate squash, lettuce, and cucumbers from our garden. I had our awesome new babysitting friends eat dinner with us, and then we went out to ice cream. It rained and the wind was blowing so hard that it broke our umbrella while Chris waited in line for our ice cream. (Very funny to watch from my dry spot with the kids.) It was so fun and we were happy to have made some great new friends.

Great thing 4-Today was Chris's second sunday that he was on call. I can't say that I love going to church with out him but I had a really great day. I made it to church on time this week.(i was five minutes last time I went by my self.) The kids were really good and I only had to leave sacrament once for a potty break. Then Laura went to Sunbeams and I went to nursery with STeven because I had been asked to sub. I took Aaron with me and hoped that he would sit happy in his car seat. I wasn't so lucky and he got fussy. It was of course really noisy and he was tired. I took him into sunday school while the kids were having snack time in hopes that I could find someone to pawn him off on. I spotted the couple who had volunteered to watch our kids the day before. I quietly handed him off and ran back to the nursery. I had left one lady to fend for herself in there, so I was trying to hurry. I had a really fun time being in nursery I brought lots of songs and activities and since it was the older nursery they loved it. It was a good reminder to me that I belong in primary. Later when the kids were occupied I snuck back into sunday school to make sure Aaron wasn't causing to much trouble. The brother who had taken him for me had him sound asleep in his arms. He kept him all through priesthood as well and I guess he stayed asleep the whole time.

Great thing 5- I spent most of Sunday playing games with my kids
Some funny things that the kids have done lately. Laura comes up stairs with a bloody nose. I ask her what happened she says "Steven stuck his finger up it and made it bleed."

Steven was asked what he wanted to be when he grows up he says " A superhero" Practical Laura says "Steven aren't you going to be a dad?" She is very literal about most things, not a lot of make believe in her.

Today Steven annouces to Laura with his pants already completely off "Laura I'm going potty now by myself and I want some privacy." Then he marches off to the bathroom. uh yeah I guess I need to work on that privacy concept a little more.
