Another LONG day

Golly what a long day it's been today. The boys woke us up early this morning. Not sure if it was on purpose or now but I think they were just excited because its Easter. However a 6:20 a.m. wake up call is NOT something I want to happen on a regular basis.

I'm so glad that today was not another repeat of yesterday. It's been so much better. I don't think I could've handled it if today was exactly the same or even remotely similar.

I actually drove us to Church today. Normally it's something Mark does. I took notice on how far it was from home to church. It's a little over 50 kilometres (31.069 miles) which is about a 35 minute drive.

You should've seen the little dude this morning he was so adorable. The Primary children were to do a musical item during Sacrament and he hopped up straight away and joined them out the front. He sang so beautifully! Some of the sisters came up to me afterwards and commented on how cute he was and how sweetly he sang. I am so glad that he has fit in with the other children so well. He's doing so much better in this ward than our old one. WTG little dude! He is still singing the same song this evening. He is just too cute!

I was a little disappointed today though. After finally being able to go to Relief Society I come out to find out that the big fella was asked to leave his group because he was so silly! I can't believe it. Not only is he booted out of school for his naughtiness he is asked to leave a group at church! When will it end??

We had another quick meeting with the missionaries. The boys are being baptised this Friday at 6 p.m. We're pretty much set for things .. well I think we are, I hope we are. The boys still have another lesson to go through before baptism and they have learnt so much already. I just don't know whether they actually listen properly during the lessons. I know I helped out the other day with them but today was another thing altogether. They argued with one another, they didn't seem to listen to the missionaries but I know they did most of the time. I just wish the big fella would stop trying to bring Star Trek or Stargate into everything he talks about. It honestly gets so annoying!! I know he loves those shows and gets excited but it doesn't mean that everyone else has the same level of interest that he does!!

Anyway all in all I guess we've had a good day. Right now the big fella is learning, quite successfully too, how to make pancakes. It's nice to see Mark teaching him how to make them. I bet we'll be asked to have them more often now rofl There's a few meals the big fella can cook now .. so soon I'll be able to have more nights off from cooking!!

Oops almost forgot ... one message that came across clearly to me today in Church was that I am NOT the only one who feels exactly the way I do and that even the Bishop recognises that we are ALL very hard on ourselves as far as becoming a better person. So perhaps I shouldn't be so hard on myself and learn to accept that it is okay to ask for help!
