Sunday....
Hmmm. Is it really a day of rest? After Sacrament Meeting today, I don't think so. It seemed like someone fed all of my kids a big dose of caffeine or some other super-stimulant right before we left for church. They were all being little stinkers at some point or another.
Here are some of the highlights:
Annika wanted to sit on Burke's lap, but she was being so wiggly. For some reason, Burke doesn't understand that when you are doing sacrament meeting with a bunch of kids, sitting and meditating is not in the cards. He was trying to get her to settle down, and I heard him whisper into her ear, "You are supposed to be thinking about Jesus."
Annika answered, "Well, I just want to think about me!"
*sigh*
Kade decided to bear his testimony. It was short but sweet and to the point. When he came to sit down, he told me that it was really scary but kind of fun. I thought that combination was a little strange so I asked him to explain what me meant. He said that it was scary to get up in front of everyone, but that he liked bearing his testimony because he felt the Spirit.
Then he asked if he could do it again.
I gave Sharing Time in Primary today. I felt a lot better about this one than the last one I did. I wasn't too nervous and I actually enjoyed it this time. I have come to realize that is the key. The kids can always tell if you are enjoying what you are doing. Very intuitive little people, they are.
My sharing time was about the ordinances of the gospel, and I am proud to say I came up with the idea myself, which is amazing, because I do not have a creative bone in my body. I am generally really good at stealing other people's ideas.

I am slowly but surely getting up on my feet and feeling a little more comfortable in my role in Primary. But...
We need to plan a quarterly activity. I HATE them!
I know that is a terrible attitude to have, but I do. When we had them in Michigan, I would have nightmares the whole week before the activity, and it was super stressful for me (see "basket case" below). I was pretty comfortable with most things I had to do in Primary, but the activities never did come easy.
Always another hurdle, right?
I had my first baptism as the PP on Saturday. It was really a good experience. I am so grateful for a husband who is a worthy and willing priesthood holder. I am also grateful for whoever taught me how to lead music (somewhat)! Don't remember who it was, but it came in handy that afternoon!
