Temple Tuesday

It's Temple Tuesday. I went to the Jordan River 5am initiatories, Corey went to the Draper 7am session. The Jordan River looked very pretty with the moon behind ~

Then after the temple I went to Millcreek to Boulder, then sit in the sauna, and I was back to help get kids out the door at 8. I set an alarm to remind me to help Peter dress like a dalmatian for the 101st day of school. We were in a bit of a rush trying to get that done in 20 minutes, so I didn't get a pic, but Abi got this after he got home. 

And here are some photos that his teacher shared. Peter is a sweet boy. "101 days of school!"

Peter is a sweet boy. 

When he got home, he was excited to show me this new game, and we played it together. 

Only he couldn't find the blue cards, so we just used face cards. When K saw me drawing on Peter, she wanted to be a dalmatian too. I did her with markers and not as much black electrical tape.

Then she wanted to play starfall, so I let her do that while I cleaned up and got dressed. And this little girl has had an issue the past few days where she is too into the game to listen to her body, until it's too late and she stars to run to the bathroom but pees herself, so she did that today for the 3rd time so far this week! I was tired after an early morning, so I layed down around 1 and K came and found me and took a nap with me at 2. I woke up and snuck away, and a bit later she woke up but I didn't know where she had gone. Around 5 we all looked together and found that she had gone to Abi's bed. Abi said "Aww, I feel so loved!" 

K slept from like 2 until 5:30! The laundry room still clean, today I paid rent and utilities, yay, and then Abi took all the kids to the park while I made curried potatoes and cauliflower for dinner, which was a hit. They were still gone after dinner was done and ready, so I blogged a bit and made progress on October! I am so close to being done.

During scriptures tonight, Corey shared a thought about how at temple you receive a little bit at a time. That is how it is with the project Corey is working on too. We trust that God is leading Corey on, here a little and there a little. I shared a thought about how there are these glass bowls in different areas of the temple. Pretty open vessels. Maybe they represent how we should be - how we should have open hearts that are ready to receive. They are not full, but are open and ready to receive what God will give. Christian shared how in the scriptures we are given different commandments when it comes to our crosses - we are commanded to "take up" our cross, and "to bear" our cross. Pondering what differences are implied there? And now it's late, I didn't want to stop working until the last post was finished so I persevered and I just finished October right before midnight, yaaaay. Next goal: finish November before this week is over! There are only 4 posts left to do for Nov. December I'll give myself the rest of Feb to finish maybe cause I'm missing most of the month.
