Day of Rest...Chasing toddlers, and Feeding babies...

Crew was SO good this week at church. I think it's because we were early, able to get a good seat, and we both weren't stressed. I grew up with a family who was and still gets there before the prelude music about 30 minutes early...so this late business does not work for me. 

Crew played quietly until the last 5 minutes and we took him out (but the meeting was going 20 minutes over..so that was fine)

 Sunday best for this nursery boy

 Little miss gets hungry every sunday during relief society...and so does everyone else's baby.

You would think that they would make more mothers lounges or at least a giant one! There are about 5-7 moms just on chairs or nursing on the floor..

and then it becomes social hour..

and then church is over...

Needless to say- I have made some fun friends. There are about 4 babies that are all Laney's age! A week apart! 

Sunday Problems

Happy Monday!

Does anyone else have a rough time at church with a toddler or is it just us? 

Some weeks he is so good in Sacrament meeting and we are finally to the point where he loves nursery. So it's just 1 lonngggg hour that we have to wrestle with him when he decides to have an off week. 

Here is our problem: in the past mom has always held him in the hall and would never put him down because then he would run around. 

Dad would let him down and offer him some gum time to time...and this led to a toddler who thinks that the hall is meant for playing. 

So while I really want/need to switch places with "dada" I feel as if I should be the mean mom and keep holding him in the hall. (he is so heavy you guys)

Plus we are running out of pictures to look at in the halls...

Growing up I always remember being taken out. I seriously do...I was naughty!

I remember my dad either taking us home because we were so bad and then we would be put in our rooms..crocodile tears and all. 

Or we would be crying and sitting in a small chair in the corner of the foyer (or in Utah they have those coat rooms...which was our time-out room)

and we stayed.

Basically our problem is just getting on the same page...sweetie. 

When I go to feed Laney...Crew can't just run around...

Let's try this again next week! 

Sunday Best

Can I just say how much we love our ward? We really do. It's great. I met a new friend today who lives a street away and has a 2 year old boy and 2 month old girl named Everly. Our kids are meant to be friends! Hopefully... :)

I rushed getting ready this morning so I could get dinner in the crock pot on time and snap a few pictures of the kids in their Sunday best. I love nothing more than a little boy in a white shirt and tie...and a comb over is an added bonus! Laney was sure fun to dress too. It really is so fun having "one of each."

As usual some pictures aren't focused because Crew moves so fast, but I love that I still snapped some of their little outfits. 

 "cheese!"

 Taking pictures is soooo painful for this kid, but he is a good sport.

 She is still pretty skeptical of him, well...and life in general.

He was giving her a hug! 

Everyday is a new adventure with these nuggets, and it's so fun.
