1. William scored his first touchdown!!! He caught the football and ran it clear down the field! He is a fast runner- he gets it from his Dad. I was so bummed I missed it. The girls and I were at cousin Emma's birthday party. I have a feeling it won't be his last touchdown- now that the quarterback knows his mad skills.

1. I get so angry at the kids -the itty bitty's- for not wanting to get ready for church or for asking for help on the things they can do themselves. With church at 8:30, and not being a morning person, we are always scrambling the whole morning trying to get ready for church. When they are not in align with what I need them to be doing, I resort to force and I hate it. This morning, it was with Rosie and showering. Will is always so cheerful or silly with the kids. I know that tactic works - it's just at the moment, I can't even think of anything clever to say to motivate them to move. All I've got it - it just needs to get done and we're doing it. I think the underlying reason for my anger is that I hate being embarrassed. Getting to church late without makeup on is embarrassing. Not being prepared for my class is another stressor.
2. Bro Walker said that Greg was a good guy to have at camp and that the two leaders' young sons just followed him around the whole time and Greg didn't seem to mind because he was used to little ones following him around all the time. 3. Bella said the scripture in Primary. It took a $1 bribe from Dad to do it without tears. She got an extra dollar for staying home and feeding Levi when she wanted to go early with Dad and the boys so Dad could play prelude and Greg could prepare the sacrament. 4. Madilyn's Primary teacher said next week he wants all the kids to be as reverent as her. 5. William's Primary teacher (who happens to be Aunt Debra) said he is so good. When all the other rowdy boys are trying to get him involved with in the chaos, he doesn't give in. 6. Emma Leigh did pretty good in class - in fact, my Primary lesson went well. Emma Leigh tends to use force to help the kids in her class obey (I wonder where she gets that from :/). Interestingly enough, she could be a bit more obedient. Ironic. I love being her teacher, nonetheless. I do think, however, that she would do better and participate more if she had a different teacher. 7. Rosie took care of Levi in Nursery Class- he slept the first two blocks, but actually did well during snacks and clean up. Yay! 8. During family council, we got some clarification on the kids' stations. it is their responsibility to make sure it is clean and tidied; however, they can find out who made the mess and have them clean it up. For laundry, the clothes are nicely put on the correct cart and then the sibling is told that clothes are ready to be put away. If they don't, Mom gets involved. |
