Sunday Sounds

As excited as I was (and am) for 9 a.m. church this year, it was still difficult to make myself get out of my warm blankets this morning. Even harder to get my 4 guys up and going. The older two have been enjoying staying up late and sleeping in during the 2.5 weeks they have been off of school. We had them go to bed earlier last night and it was still hard at 8 a.m. to get them going. I wonder what they are going to think of 7:15 a.m. tomorrow! I started the day with soft Sunday music...hoping that the boys would get motivated by that...then we were off to church....with no temper tantrums this morning...they were all too tired probably!

After church...it was Vikings Football...their last game of the regular season! So, it was the sounds of popcorn popping as I made some delish caramel popcorn (you can find the recipe at www.ourbestbites.com which is an awesome site btw) and football and lots of cheering as the Vikings pounded the Giants! Purple jerseys were the fashion at our place.

Then came dinnertime and the sounds of laughter and fun filled the air as the boys told about their new teachers from primary and their highs and lows of the day! The Chiefs high was definitely the Vikes win!

Then we finished the day with our family scripture study. Even though Setheroo can't read, he follows along and randomly repeats words that are read. It lets us know he is listening at least most of the time.

And now, the sounds I look forward to most...the sound of silence as my kiddos are all in bed! I hope they stay there til 7 tomorrow morning! and I'll continue to enjoy the sounds...
