Sunday

We (I) survived one more day. We all went to church today. G-ma's lap can hold 2 boys. I'm not sure what adjustments I will make when Nathan needs a spot too. The boys did very good in church. Isaac had some church prophet figures he was playing with. He had to lay on the floor with them to keep Mark from sharing with him. At the closing song, Isaac was putting his figures away and Dad took Moses. Isaac was very upset. Lance needed Moses for an object lesson for his Sunday School class. Isaac was so upset that he refused to sing the closing song. Did I mention that Isaac loves to sing. Both boys were tired in Sacrament meeting. I guess it is hard work for them to entertain g-ma. 

You might remember last time when I went to church with them, I had to go to Sunbeams with Isaac. This week was lots better. I dropped him off in Primary without an incident. Mark's nursery leader met up with him in the hall and took him to class. Once again no tears. Then comes Nathan. We decided today that he needs a bigger diaper. He had an explosion at church. Molly had to run home and get him clean clothes. It was a MESS. Then Nathan and I went to RS. Nathan slept the whole time. Wow. 3 for 3 on no crying in church. When I walked by the nursery Mark was snuggled on the nursery leader's lap. If he didn't fall asleep, he was close to it. Did I mention that grandma visits are tiring for everyone? We didn't even get through 2 stories before both boys were asleep at nap time.

After naps, the boys went outside with Dad and went bug hunting for food for his "eatie plants". Then the whole family went for a walk. We will have to clock the distance. It took about an hour. Isaac held g-ma's hand and walked the whole way. Mark was good and rode in the stroller and Molly carried Nathan. Lance took pictures to document our adventure. It took us about an hour. Isaac and g-ma were getting tired, but I am happy to report that we all made it home.  Everybody felt revived after eating a bowl of ice cream.

Today we got caught up on the dishes. For just a moment all the dishes were clean and since it was Sunday I don't have to worry about the laundry until tomorrow.

Yesterday Mark came up behind Isaac and wrapped his arms around him. I thought he was giving him a nice brotherly love. WRONG! He grabbed him, then head-butted him. It was kinda funny, but I couldn't let Mark know that. He missed Isaac with his head, so no harm was done. Lance and Molly said that Mark does that all the time, but he usually doesn't miss. Oh, boy. Are they in for some fun times. I remember a little boy who used to do the same thing in our house. He didn't usually head-butt but he used his head for a weapon. Little boys can be crazy.
