I have been going through some struggles lately concerning church. I couple people have complained about the noise level of my kids and I have overheard them. 1 person said it to me, in a very kind way, I am very grateful to this person the most.
A little background, if you do not know my kids they are very energetic and loud, also I go to church alone with 2 children under 5. It really kinda hurt my feelings especially when I overheard someone talking about me to someone else. Last Sunday I didn't go to Sacrament meeting because of how I felt, I kind of thought why bother. But I still wanted my kids to go to Primary and I'm the primary chorister. Today I decided to tough it out again and if they were loud or naughty then that was it. They were pretty good today, I only had to take Kevin out once and I was able to leave Anya with the family sitting across from us so I didn't have to worry about her and just concentrate on him. I have been having a hard time with quiet things for them to do and the church bag gets old quick. I feel like I have to change it every couple of weeks. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I think things are going to be ok and this is going to be a struggle I just have to suck up and deal with.

Unofficial Party!
Anya turned 5 on Sept. 20th. She wants a Halloween birthday party so we had a little "family party" with some close friends. Here is her cake, pink of course. Then I made bbq drumsticks, rice, and salad. Then we had a campfire in the back yard and the kids got to stay up late and play in the backyard. They have never played out in the dark and they had a great time. I guess it was kind of our goodbye summer party!
Yummm!
As the weather gets cooler our meals get warmer. Homemade chicken noodle soup with homemade whole wheat rolls. DELICIOUS!!!
