Today was a crazy day! The kids were up early (of course), breakfast was eaten so early that we pretty much had to have second breakfast just before we left to keep hungry tummies happy. I have two very rambunctious boys who refuse to hang out in the primary room while I set up and instead run around the halls before church. Ollie is quite the handful these days and sacrament meeting is almost impossible to make it through. While we had a few awesome moments during sacrament where 4 out of 5 kids were sitting so quiet that angels were practically singing, we also had an episode of world war three on our crowded bench when someone refused to move over and give someone else their spot and someone stole a goldfish from a very determined toddler. Camilla rocked a musical number on her violin in front of the entire congregation. I was so proud of her! We got back to our bench only to be welcomed by a spitting war between Fin and Joe while Daddy was in the foyer with Ollie. Daddy came back for a split second to tell me he had drive someone home, and plopped a busy toddler on my lap while I strong-armed a certain boy to a new spot so his sister could have her old spot back. Then we were off to primary with a ton of new changes and new teachers and new things to take care of. The children were all very high energy, and teaching was trickier than usual. Then Daddy helped me wrestle everyone into the van and I came home solo while he stayed for a meeting.
When I got home, I felt a lot like throwing a bowl over my head like Ollie here...Sundays are crazy in the Stannix home! Thankfully the little guys went for naps. Joe fell asleep balanced on the arm of the couch, and the older two found a good movie. Fin snuggled in next to me and quickly fell asleep. Napping next to him was probably the highlight of my day. When he woke up he told me how warm I was and how he slept so good, and how much he loved me. His little voice right now is so adorable and I love the way he pronounces things. I wish I could just bottle him up the way he is right now and hold onto him forever.
Daddy was my hero and made up a batch of Grampy's tacos for dinner even though he had a rough day as well. We were all pretty cranky as we ate dinner unfortunately. We had a quick family home evening since Daddy will be working late tomorrow, and then he had to run off to another church meeting. I tucked the kids into bed and cleaned the kitchen. It will be super satisfying to wake up on a Monday morning to clean counter tops and an empty sink. Happy Sabbath!
