So, I don't know if anyone has ever kept their 4 year old twins out until 10:30pm to go to a demolition derby and see fireworks. It is definitely one of those things that is completely worth it, but must only be done every once in a while. It is probably not so bad when you don't have church at 9:00am the next morning. So, I got everything I could possibly get ready before I woke up the kids. I finally had to wake them up around 8:30. I got them all ready, did A's hair and I think we ended up being 3 minutes late to church (there goes the sticker on the Primary chart this week). They were actually really well behaved during church, especially considering the late night. They learned all about "families and froggies" in their primary class. They have the two greatest primary teachers. One of them teaches fourth grade at an elementary school. They come up with things (like froggies) to teach the subject of the lesson. This not only serves their ability to teach the kids, but it also helps the kids to remember what they learned. Ever since they were called to be their teachers, the kids can always tell me what they learned about in Primary. It is so cool. They are learning a lot and loving it, sometimes when you ask them about their favorite thing in Primary they will even say their teachers.
- It would be a boring life if one of the kids did not say at least one funny comment each day. So here it is today from T. As our home teachers were here this evening, he was being pretty wild. As they were talking I sat him on my lap and flipped through The Friend so he would look at the pictures and stop causing a raucous. He suddenly found a small picture of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. They were (as usual) arranged so that the men were sitting on one side and the women on the other side. T asked how come they were separate. I told him that "men's voices sound one way and women's voices sound another way, so they separate to keep the sounds together." He laughingly said, "that is not why they are separated!" I said, "it's not?" He said, "NO, they are separated so they won't pester each other!" I don't know where he would get the idea that when people are pestering one another we should separate them. I can't imagine that ever happening at our house (yes, I know sarcasm does not translate well in typing).
