mama said there'd be days like this

Yesterday we went to our ward Primary Activity

It took place on the temple grounds

It was a great experience for the kids to have

I am glad I made the effort

speaking of EFFORT

it was SUNDAY dress

which we all know means what...........IRONING

we were having a picnic afterward at a park

which means...........LUNCH PACKING

(fresh crisp clothing)

so, i was trying to get 4 kids bathed, clothes ironed, lunches packed, plus a multitude of other things ( you can imagine)

and instead of making the morning lovely and preparing my children spiritually for the event

I BLEW IT

some times even mothers make mistakes

speaking of MISTAKES

thursday morning after "the boss" had his bath I thought I would just leave him wrapped up in a towel ( w/o dipe)

while I did EMMEs hair

well that was fine until he

POOPED, yup and he kept it coming, WOOF !

( woof courtesy of nat)

here are some pics from the TEMPLE

the mood lightened considerably at the picnic

where aside from cheering me up a new pal of mine posed for the camera ( photog Jaxson)

meet e r y n

she, her hubby & their cute kids moved here about a year ago from

Manhattan, NYC

her kids ( so cute !)

then Jaxson asked me to pose for some pics

my motivation in the above

" MOM how do you look when we get up from nap"

" mom how do you look while we are sleeping"

**note from the author**

SOMETIMES EVEN MOTHERS MAKE MISTAKES

this is the moral of the post

TODAY

is the day I try again..........and maybe tomorrow...and the next day.....and the day after that

seattle saturday

We went into Seattle city center Saturday

and happened upon a round dance

the kids loved it

they talked about our great friends the Dial's who we miss terribly

then Emme tried to imitate the dancing

SHE IS TOO CUTE !

***Note from the Author***

Jaxson ripped the back of his pants at the beginning of the trip so we went looking for pants, unfortunately we weren't near shopping so we walked about 20 blocks just to find a store......which was fine and a great walk

then....Angelo remembered that he had only payed for 2 hour parking, not all day

so we RAN yes RAN two adults, 4 kids, one stroller

YIKES

It was fun though, next time we will do more by the time we got back to the car we were all worn out so instead of re parking we just headed back home
