It's Always the Primary President's Kid

Once a year the Primary (all of the children eleven and under) in our church put on a Program during Sacrament Meeting.  The children sing the songs they have learned throughout the year and each child has a speaking part.  I am the Primary President and am in charge of the Primary.  Being someone who doesn't like to be in charge of anything, it is an understatement to say, it has been a learning experience for me.  Today we had one last practice before the big day, tomorrow.  Sylvia does a great job singing and with her speaking part, but like usual, she was all over the place, hopping up and down or lying on the floor. When we got home I asked her if she is going to be out of her seat and running all over during the performance tomorrow.  She answered, "Probably, but I think it will be an accident."  I laughed then said, "That little devil on your shoulder is very persuasive, isn't he!?"  She replied, "That's a freckle on my shoulder!"

At this point, I am asking myself, which would look worse, Sylvia running all over the place during the program, or Sylvia duct taped to her seat?

Sylvia Singing

Naked Boy Monster

Just thought I'd say Happy Friday with this naked boy monster that Sylvia drew for Hazel...or for Hasel.

Sylvia Surprise!

One of the main reasons why I homeschool is so that I have more time to do fun things with my family, and yet, at times it is very difficult to say no to cleaning and yes to sitting down and reading a book or playing a game with them. Last night the house was a mess, I had just gotten home from a meeting and wanted to get dinner on the table before Joey got home.  Sylvia had had a great gift idea for daddy for a while now and it had become one of those things that I kept saying, "tomorrow" to.  I am so glad I chose to say yes to it.  The kids thought it was fun and needless to say, it was the best gift Joey has ever received!

Luke helped with the wrapping.

What could it be?!

A Sylvia!

And a hug!
