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 !

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"

SOMETIMES EVEN MOTHERS MAKE MISTAKES

Very good post! I am glad the temple brightened your day along with children and friends, always important, life would be pretty boring if we didn't have them.
Yes moms make mistakes - but you went. The biggest mistake would have been NOT to go. I love all of the church clothes laid out!
I blew it today, speaking of that. Isn't it from 0-8 we try to instill a love of learning in our kids (especially for TJED homeschooling mothers?) and poor Liv got an earfull about how I can't ever spend that much time just giving her words again. She'll just have to do better, nag, nag, nag, nag, nag. I'm sure she's looking forward to tomorrow. I think the Lord blesses us with very forgiving children for many years so we can better perfect our mothering skills without completely screwing them up :)
Sarah- you are a great story teller. Give me a call later...
