Livia never stops moving so she is pretty much a blur in all of the pictures I have taken of her recently (I need to fix the settings on my camera for neurotic subjects) Any hoo- We had a lovely conference weekend. I know it is necessary for us to get out and mingle with other people at church on Sundays but man it is so nice having church at home- no screaming mother trying to do hair and Iron clothes while getting dinner prepared and finding scriptures and packing the diaper bag............... Let's just say I could really get used to church in my p.j's- I know that is so not a reverent thing to say. This year I had the conference packet for kids to keep Livia busy- Tate could care less and chose to drive cars all over us during the morning session. Livia was in heaven! We set up a little space for her in front of the TV. and she acted like she had a serious task ahead of her keeping track of the people who spoke- precious! We had yummy muffins in the morning made by yours truly and Chad made us some of the best burgers ever after a lovely family walk in the afternoon. I just love spending a day like that with my little family- All of the talks were amazing- I felt so recharged this week. On Saturday Chad took the kids into the mountains for the day so I was able to sew and listen to both sessions. Thank you Chad for being mindful of how mind numbing child rearing can be and making sure I get some alone time. I love being in my home alone- I love to clean everything and catch up on all of the projects I never get to because of the rug rats at my feet.

I'm with you on loving to stay in your PJ's all day during General Conference. I'll even go as far as to say that I didn't shower until AFTER conference was over. I'm glad you got to listen to all of the Sat. talks!
I agree. It is so nice to be able to 'worship' in your home. And I agree about loving spending time w/ your little family. I felt the same way. That's what life is all about...
That is great Chad took the kiddos out for the day on Sat! Jess was working, so I cranked up the t.v., opened the front door and windows and sat out on the front porch as the boys played and I listened to the sessions. It was fabulous.
please, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeese, PLEASE tell me how you came to love cleaning so much. I mean- I know that is just innate in you, but how do I learn it? I'm trying so hard.
