SANTA CLAUS IS COMIN TO TOWN

Today was Sidney's preschooL fieLd trip to the maLL to see Santa. It started out not good. This was us waiting in Line aLready scared. She was not even about to sit on his Lap!
Afterward she was fine got her sucker and hung out with her BFF gracie. TaLking to her other friend BrookLyn
A cLass photoDropping off their Letters they had written in cLass in Santa's maiL bag.So proud of herseLf. She asked for a bunny Like Jaida, which I have no idea what that means 'cause Jaida has no bunny.Back to schooL for the cLass party. Krispie Kremes and miLk, YUM!They seperated into groups for activites. This was coLoring christmas trees and candy canes.This game is fun. Whose ever turn it was cLosed their eyes whiLe the kids picked a santa and then the chiLd opens their eyes and starts eating the candy and when you pick the candy off the santa the other kids picked you shout, "Don't eat Santa!"Pin the nose on RudoLfAnd Last christmas storiesSidney had a fun time! I'm gLad I got to go and heLp out!

My chiLdren...What wiLL they think of next. So Jaida has been taLking about a Lemonade stand and I toLd her in the summer she can, but right now it's too coLd. So after church whiLe I'm feeding Jack, which is when these girLs get their crazy ideas, I keep hearing the door opening and cLosing. So I say Jaida get inside. She says I can't and she runs outside with some paper. I finish Jack and go see what is going on and this is what I find. They're seLLing miLk for 10$! First of aLL I teLL her aLL your customers are in church and it's sunday. And I asked her why are you seLLing miLk? And she says "cuz we didn't have any Lemonade."

MY BABY BOY IS GROWING SO FAST

So just a LittLe photo shoot before church. He's getting so big and starting to Look Like a boy and not a baby.
So I put up the crib Last night and it was Jack's first night in the crib. I know he's sLeeping on pink (Sidney's) I stiLL need to go get him some mascuLine bedding.

JAIDA'S SCHOOL PICTURE

This is Jaida's schooL picture. I had totaLLy forgot about picture day untiL that morning we were rushing around and kinda running Late when I remembered. But I think they stiLL turned out cute considering.

I'M PROUD TO BE A LATTER DAY SAINT

So with all this prop 8 and eLection stuff happening I've been online researching. There was an ad put out against our church about prop 8 (youtube home invasion). Anyway after youtubing it I was youtube surfing and seeing tons of these anti mormon videos that have been posted. Talking about and showing sacred things, but with a faLse twist to them. I was infuriated with what I was seeing and couldn't beLieve some of the comments peopLe had written about mormons. I know it's the Last Days and this has been taught to us that we wouLd endure percecution, but I didn't think it wouLd effect me this way. So I was on the computer and Jaida asked, "Mommy what are you doing?"

I said,"Oh, just peopLe are saying some bad things"

and she must have seen some pictures of the tempLe cuz she asked,"About church?"

And I Looked at her and said,"Yes."

Then she Looked puzzLed and distraught and asked,"Why?"

I didn't know how to expLain it to her cuz I can hardLy understand myseLf so I said,"I don't know they're just stupid and they don't know."

And in her childLike innocense she says,"That makes me sad. Church is good, and some peopLe don't go to church, but if you don't go to church you don't Learn, and that makes Jesus sad."

I didn't have to expLain anything. She expLained it to me. This is just the beginning. Our precious babes are the ones we have to teach and prepare for these Last Days. My testimony has onLy grown from seeing those videos and I feeL sad for them. We have to stay cLose to the iron rod and teach our chiLdren too.
