Nursery

Saturday night Ben started to not feel good and by Sunday morning he still wasn't feeling good, which I didn't know he still wasn't feeling good until I arrived home from the Sunday morning meeting that I now have every Sunday at 7am because of my new calling. I got back home at 8:30 to Katelynn still in PJ's and no breakfast, but Ben thought I would just leave her home with him. I didn't do that, I let him get better without her yelling and screaming all around him. So, we charged through breakfast, and got us both out the door at 9am. We arrive and sit in the back where Katelynn is not contained AT ALL and is freakin' excited that she can run around so much. We pretty much stay in the foyer for most of Sacrament Meeting.
I had mentally made the decision that this was going to be Katelynn's first Sunday in nursery. I could not manage her and Primary at the same time. There would be no way that could happen. I had previously wanted to introduce her to nursery with me and Ben throughout October, but that wasn't going to happen now. I pretty much walked in to the Nursery room desperate that they take her a couple weeks early. They had no problem with that and I was then off and running, trying to run a Primary Program. HAHA!
I still don't know what I am doing yet. I am hoping that once we have a few regular Sunday's without program practice and HALLOWEEN! (I am worried that the kids are going to be wired from the Trunk or treat the night before or they could be so tired from the night before don't know) Whatever happens it will be okay but having the program on Halloween wasn't my idea.
Back to Katelynn, she did AWESOME in nursery. They brought her to me once for a diaper change and that was it. She didn't throw any fits about being left there without me. I knew that she would have a good time and that she would just fit right in. Now we will have to see if she will make it again this Sunday since she now has a runny nose (She didn't get sick at nursery) and runny noses aren't allowed in nursery. I just hope that we have a better night tonight than last night. No one slept well, even the dogs were up barking at 1am.

New Calling

At church I have been an adviser and a counselor in the Young Women's program for the past 3 and a half years. When we moved in February I thought that I would get a new calling pretty quick but it didn't happen, 4 months later I was put in Young Women's again. I have heard the saying that when you have perfected your calling you will be moved to something else. I guess after three months they decided it was time for another change, it also doesn't help that people move out and leave big vacancies that have to be filled. Sunday I was sustained as the Primary President. The past two presidents have moved out of the ward. The previous president was in the calling for two months when they moved a couple weeks ago. Ben is wondering if that means that we are going to be moving soon too...I don't think so, but you never know.
They are 40 kids in the Primary and a good twenty are active. The Primary program is in two weeks and so I was thrown into this calling running. For the past week I have been all over lds.org and sugardoodle.net looking for ideas and such to help me find out all that I can about what is expected of me and what needs to be done.
I haven't been in primary since I was in primary. So this will be fun and new for me. I hope things turn out okay. Let me know if you have any ideas or tid-bits that I should know. That's what is going on around here!

ooooOOOOoooo!

A week or so ago we noticed that our love seat was broken. It was leaning to one side and was feeling a little unsafe to sit on. So, we aren't the most motivated when we have to fix something and we are unsure of what it will all entail. We decided that we would look into fixing it on Saturday. We had family over for most of the day and we had dinner with Beth and Kevin at our house so we just hadn't gotten to it. Then we joked with Beth and Kevin that they broke the love seat when they sat on it, but telling Kevin that something was broken only made him want to check it out and see why it was broken. After dinner the couch was flipped over and the problem figured out.
Our couches were put together using only staples and a few brackets. So, it was to be easily fixed with screws and angle brackets. The hilarious part of this was Katelynn of course. She was Kevin's right hand woman. She would get herself in any position she could to see what Kevin was doing. Even if that meant blocking his view with her head so she could see the screw being driven in with the screw gun. Then, when the screw was in she would say, "ooOOoo!" I wasn't quick enough to get a picture of them working on the couch together but it was pretty darn cute with Katelynn making her sound effects.
So, it is now safe to sit in our love seat without the fear of it breaking even more. Thanks Kevin!
