BB Guns and Helium Balloons

I am slow today.  I had to run to the gym before watching a little girl and I am just sitting down now J 

Good week this past week.  I have been having some emotional moments regarding Young Women’s this week.  It’s hard for me to deal with these kinds of emotions because normally I am a fairly confidence person!  Anyway, we have such awesome and amazing YW leaders that sometimes I feel as though I am just not “fun” enough or “good” enough to be in the calling I am.  It’s really interesting how Satan works on us when he knows we are vulnerable…I mean this is really dumb, but somehow I’m letting it get to me!  Interestingly enough, after ward counsel the Elders Quorum President came up to me out of the blue and said, “I just wanted to tell you during ward counsel that the spirit really touched me when you were talking and I know you are in the right place, this calling is exactly where you are supposed to be.”  Ha!  Talk about hitting the nail on the head!  Either he was really intuitive (with ZERO clues that I had been feeling motional a couple days prior), or the that was yet another LTM (Little Tender Mercy) from above.  Anyway, it was just the confirmation I needed to know that I am doing the job He wants me to do. 

Andy had to leave right before sacrament meeting ended yesterday due to a trip, so I had all the kids plus a neighbor kid (GO Audrie!) to rally up and try and keep 5 kiddos quiet.  It is always a feat! Then after church all the kids came to meet me in the YW’s room, which is exactly what they are supposed to do….EXCEPT this time Audrie and Jada (her friend) were LAUGHING hysterically….to which I quickly said, “Guys!!  Be reverent.  We are still in church.”  After a few more seconds of uncontrollable laughter they both began telling me that as they picked up Sam from nursery they were walking down the hallway towards the YW’s room.  Sam stopped looked towards her feet as she WATCHED her diaper fall completely off….took a step over the diaper and began running down the hallway!!!!!  They chased her all the way to the YW’s room with a BARE BUM in the middle of CHURCH!! AHHHHH!!!  Oh my word.  My first reaction was, “WHERE is the DIAPER???”  To which they said, some lady picked it right up and threw it away—MORTIFIED—I ask WHO?  To which they have NO idea.  So there is a random lady at church that surely thinks my children are heathens.  Holy moley.  I am still laughing…and crying about the entire incident.  Only MY KIDS, I’m telln’ ya.

Oh and one other story, then I better send this off.  Please see attached picture #2.  It is a helium balloon that has been stuck on the ceiling for weeks.  Apparently it has been driving my husband crazy because on Saturday afternoon I walked into the living room catching my 35 year old husband in mid shot (with a BB gun)...he made a bullseye in the balloon.  Not to mention a large indentation (correction from my facebook post hahaha) in my CEILING!!!  Gotta love this grown up little man….maybe that’s were Sam gets her silly antics from??!?
