Sunday Times

I don't know how two little bodies can completely wear out three big bodies! Our kids went non-stop yesterday . . . I was telling Melissa that they were like flies that fly around and around your head and as much as you swat at them, you can't get them to leave you alone! It all started at church when I was trying to do Sharing Time. Dan was still in Vegas, so Melissa was so nice to come and help me with the kids. Mason still came up and played by the microphone and didn't forget it was there for the rest of primary. They made a few class changes and his class is in a different room and he wouldn't go in (he still doesn't do well with change). So, he and Tristyn both came to help in my Valiant class and they were very distracting, to say the least! We made it half way through the Sacrament before I couldn't deal with their movement in that little tiny bench space anymore! I don't know how I would have made it that long without Melissa's help, so thanks!

The rest of the day was more of the same . . . endless energy! Tristyn has amazingly been running on 30 minute-per-day naps! Even if she doesn't need more than that (I know she does but she's getting more teeth)--I DO!!! Melissa and I made a couple of things with a zucchini that Suzy gave us. Mason wanted to help with the Coconut Pineapple Zucchini muffins (yum), so you can see that it made the task much easier! Meanwhile, Tristyn cooled off by sitting in the fridge.

Later we played hide and seek. Tristyn and I hid in their little tent while Mason buried Dan in the couch cushions. Once it cooled off we finally get them out of the house and went for a walk. They both love to run around in the church parking lot and we've found that it's a great way to tire them out a little! Mason loved checking out the little tractor and big dump truck on the way and they both had fun picking grass and throwing it all over themselves and us. Tristyn's hat must have blocked her vision too much, because she kept putting Mason's hat on instead. She looked like a little gangsta!

Long story short . . . the kids kept us on our feet ALL day, but they were super cute and so fun to play with! We have the cutest little blue-eyed kids ever!
