Day 3

O.k., Sundays are just really hard days for kids. I bribed them with extra stickers if they were good for sacrament meeting. Worked great. The kids were a little down this morning. They were all ready by 8:00 and weren't sure they really wanted to play. Half of them fasted, which made them even more of a joy. Ha. After church I had to practice a song with someone. All went pretty well until Joshua decided he was bored. I heard him running and yelling al the way sown the hall. Kind of a bummer for the Spanish Branch. They were in the middle of sacrament meeting. I did a crockpot meal, so we were able to eat as soon as we got home. Most of the kids had no problem and I let them watch a movie. They didn't seem to be in a "let's play nice and not annoy each other" mood. Joshua however, took an hour and a half to eat his food. He then quickly ran downstairs for a movie as if this were a normal thing. Blah. They pretty much watched movies for 3 hours. I finally told them no more, but playtime was not happening. Too many very tired kids. So, everyone went to bed and got to read for 30 minutes. Perfect. All was quiet by 7:30. We have some fun things planned this week, so we might just make it. I think the only thing broken today was the hide-a-bed. Whose isn't broken?

Collin and Jacob enjoyed playing with and coloring popsicle sticks before church. No, he isn't supposed to be on the table.

How many times can we listen to April play Indian Dance songs before we get bored? Again, trying to entertain themselves before church.
