We had stake conference today. It was long for the kids, especially because I knew we would end up in metal folding chairs for two hours so I didn't let the kids bring any cars to church, which is usually their only form of entertainment. (People save chairs like crazy for stake conference, so we always end up pretty far back, even though we get there early.) We took an Aqua Doodle, and the kids were so nice, sitting quietly and doing math and reading and drawing on this little toy.
We had the missionaries over for dinner tonight, which is a huge honor. This is the first time we've met them, because they serve a huge area. I had thrown a roast in the crock pot before church and made some rolls afterward. I loved talking to those amazing young men. One of them is 18, only 4 months out in the mission field. Since I wasn't able to go until I was 21, I was just so proud of the decorum he showed. The conversation was easy and fun. And they were really sweet with Seth and Kai. It was really wonderful.
We went for a short walk in this amazing neighborhood we live in before putting the kids in bed. Our home teacher came by after that. Usually we have him come by when the kids are up, but it was this or nothing this month due to really crazy schedules on all our parts.
All in all, it turned out to be a great day. Which was good, because we really needed this week to start off right. It's going to be CRAZY! Stay tuned if you want to know why...
