Family time...

This post is more for me than for you. Just remembering a comfortable Sunday afternoon together as a family. But you're welcome to read.

Our church started an hour later today and that one little hour changed the landscape of our whole day. We got home close to 4. Usually we nap and have "quiet time" after church. Today it was soooo late, but we decided to try it anyway. The kids all piled into our bed with us and we read books and then a couple of us fell asleep. (You know which ones...the old folgies who can't function without a Sunday afternoon nap anymore!) The kids played around us using the baby's crib as a fort and putting together puzzles and reading books. They were actually pretty quiet, or we were just unusually tired from a very fun Halloween. (Thanks Katie!)

Right before dinner tonight, Ridge fell and hit his chin on the table and his head on the tile. Dad patched him up good. Now he's sporting a cool little chin strap on his face. He found Sean's "Paul Bunyan" cap and wore it until bedtime. He looked so cute.

Carly was rolling around in her rollerblades she bought at Savers with her own hard earned money. I remember wearing my awesome skates in the house too! But, after two falls from her, we nixed the blades. We already had enough blood from Ridge. (Sorry Carly)

Ty had a tough time at church today. No classes for him or mom. (He said he didn't like the new church building.) Better luck next week.

Ridge and Carly took over the camera for a few shots and Ridge did my hair the way he likes it. He often pulls my hair to one side and tells me how "gorgeous" I look that way. Tonight he did it and then asked to take a picture of me like that. Cute. Now I have a picture to go with the memory!

We topped off the night watching a couple of short inspiring clips from Sean's facebook page. (One from President Hinckley and one called "Validation" if you want to check them out.) The kids liked them. I may have leaked a tear or two also.

Ty fell asleep sitting up next to Sean. Maybe that explains the attitude today.

We read our scriptures and said our prayers and off to bed they went without one complaint!

Hope you had a wonderful Sabbath day.

It's November...Thanksgiving month. We'll be trying to come up with some "Thankful" activities to do. If you have any traditions or ideas I'd love to hear them.
