A Typical Sunday, Sort Of

Just some random things that happened this Sunday that made me smile. Or cringe.

- The boys jumped on us in bed in this morning. They love to tackle Jason, hide under the covers and just be silly.

- In the parking lot there was a big fight between the boys of who got to push the button to go down on the wheelchair lift in the van (we all go together to church in the wheelchair van with my grandma and mom). It's pretty much a weekly fight. Although why wouldn't it be? How many kids get to go up and down on a lift from their van?

- When we got to church Max made a beeline to get a hymnal because there were none on our back row. Then he ran to find another. And another. And yes another. It was hilarious. I like to think we provide some source of entertainment for the back of the gym attendees. We are in excellent company back there.

- As soon as the sacrament prayer begins Levi asks, fairly loudly, "Where is that noise coming from?!?!"

- Minutes later he comes up to me and declares "When I am 12 I can be a sacrament boy too!"

End Scene. Curtains open on Primary time.

Craziness, craziness, craziness as I run around helping our new counselor settle in.

- For singing time they do the song 'Give Said the Little Stream' involving clapping and standing at certain times. Levi was paying very close attention to the director (he's right up front) trying his hardest to get those claps right and when the time came to stand, his feet, like most of the kids on the front row, didn't reach the ground and he toppled over his feet. But he got up right away and tried to finish best he could. So funny.

- As Jr. Primary sharing time was coming to a close they were about to announce who would be receiving the 'golden ticket' for the day (whoever gets the golden ticket for being reverent gets to go to the bishops office and they can get a treat from him, it's a fairly coveted prize) and immediatly following the pronouncement of another child close to him getting it, Levi loudly exclaims "But I tried my very best!!!" It was so sweet. And for Levi he was doing pretty well that day. Maybe next time bud.

-After the end of nursery I got to talking with the leaders and they tell me how well Max is doing. He knows and sings all the songs, prays, raises his hand. Makes me feels good to know he does pretty well for other people.

- The boys were pretty good all church long but minutes of getting home there was screaming. And more screaming. And then some more. But we threw them in bed and that settled things for an hour or so. That's what we get for having church at 1pm.
