church

Our 3 hours of church has become such a struggle for me. The kids just aren't sitting still and it is hard for me to go. This Sunday started like this...

10:45 walk into chapel
10:50 have the kids get their drinks and bathroom before it starts
10:52 remembering that I left a Valentine treat for someone in the car...
10:53 remembering that I left the activity day reminders at home
10:55 leaving for home to get the reminders
11:05 coming back with reminders and Valentines treat
11:08 Kalab seeing the Valentine treat started screaming for it
11:09 taking Kalab out to foyer with Valentines treats and putting Valentines up high on a shelf
11:20 going back in to chapel
11:30 Kalab playing and reading books
11:37 Aubrey asks to go get tissue for her nose
11:40 Kalab starts throwing a fit and screaming
11:42 get Kalab to stop
11:45 Aubrey wants to go hang up sweater.. I say no
11:46 she starts crying ...Big sobs...
11:48 I pick her up and start to take her out... kicks of one shoe goes under back bench, get

11:50 Blayne shows up with Kalab

11:55 Chase shows up make him go back and sit down
12:00 go back in for last 5 min...

12:30 get asked to sub in primary ... two classes ...11 kids
1:15 ish go to class... I don't have any crayons paper or chalk

1:40 5 of the 11 have to go to the bathroom
1:50 come back to { class with all 11}
2:00 find all parents except one grandpa who was suppose to pick up grandson

On Sunday we accidentally sat in back of the grumpy old man in our ward. Sure enough, at one point in the meeting he turned around and just started at us for a minute with a really disgusted look on his face. Then his wife's cell phone went off and we felt guilty no more.

Wow!! I'm stressed out by just reading that!! All we get in sacrament is the typical temper tantrum from Zona, he's starting to change it up by yelling out "Dammit"! He picked that one up from the Scooby Doo movie, sadly that movie is now missing from the house.
