So my kids were decorating for Halloween today and I told them No!. Its too early to decorate for Halloween, I told them they needed to wait. But, then I left them unattended for a few minutes. I guess that's what I get. However I was a little impressed.
We had the privilege of helping with a primary activity last Saturday, and we thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. The kids did crafts, and then split into groups and went around the Temple to different stations. I am pleased to say I did learn a few things.
I love the big trees at the Temple.
Beautiful Lydia
This is one of the things that I learned. We were told a story about some pigeons that would sit on the Temple windows and poop all over the temple, they were loud and caused problems at the Temple. They were not aloud to poisen them, So the Temple workers prayed for an answer to the problem. Soon after two owls showed up and scared all the pigeons away. The owls have nested up in the windows, and have never left. They are the temple gards for pigeons. It was cool.
So my little man is eight. Its very strange to think that my baby is eight. How fast time fly's. Too bad it doesn't slow just a little through all the good, and joyous moments. I am grateful to be able to say I have an overflow of good and joyous memories over the last eight years, and wouldn't trade those years for anything. This day was a joyous memory. I love my little family. I am overwhelmingly pleased with your decision Jarom to be baptised. May you always see the Lords blessings in your life and be filled with the spirit and gratitude you feel today. I love you little man. Always and forever, Mom.
Elizabeth wanted to help, by doing her sisters hair. Its a little off, but not bad for a first try on a wiggly baby early in the morning. Nice work Ellie.
My kids did not want pictures they were to excited to get to school. So I guess you take what you can get. Jaroms shirt he chose says " HOMEWORK kills trees, help stop the madness." He hates homework. Lyd's didn't care what she wore as long as it was a skirt.
This was the best picture I got of Lyd's. She was in a really silly mood.
