A Perfect Sunday!!!

What an amazing sabbath day. Woke up nice and early so I wasn't rushed getting me and the kids ready for church. Then the McBrooms (the Senior missionary couple in our branch that our staying with us till the end of Sept) watched Wade all of Sacrament and he was so good. While Macie snuggled on my lap for the whole meeting. It allowed me to feast upon the words of Christ and as well get some good snuggles with Macie (nothing sounds better to me then that.) Then Mark watched Wade for the next two meetings so I got to enjoy Sunday School and Young Women's. After church Wade went down right away for a nap while me and Macie went outside and enjoyed the insanely beautiful hot sept 21st weather. Macie picked dandelions and I relaxed and let the sun kiss my face (another one of my favourite things to do). When Mark arrived home after all his Sunday duties Wade woke up and we went for a nice long walk to the park as a family. There was a couple there playing there guitars and singing some nice peaceful songs. We loved sitting and listening to there beautiful voices and looking at the beauty all around us. Then we headed home for a delicious supper. BBQ'd bacon mushroom and Swiss burgers, salad and fried potatoes. With a delicious homemade desert thanks to Sis. McBroom. Then we just played and laughed and spent time together as a family. I would normally be disappointed that I didn't have pictures to post but this day was to perfect and peaceful and beautiful that I don't need pictures to remember it.

What a great day!!!

Mark left this morning on another work adventure and will be gone till Sunday. I always get worried and stressed and ask myself how am I going to handle both day and night with no help. My Heavenly Father. It always amazes me how he is watching over me. Today could not have been more perfect. Woke up and snuggled in bed with the kiddos, then made some French toast and Strawberries for breakfast and everybody gobbled it up. We then got ready and walked to the bank for a quick appointment. The kids were so good and munched on an early lunch while I filled out some paperwork. Next we walked to Bud Miller Park and played for a good hour before we headed home. Macie did another great job of walking to Bud Miller Park and back. On our way back home Macie picked some leaves and while Wade napped we made a leaf collage. Then Macie did some free play while I cleaned the house and Wade finished napping. Not once since this point had the kids been whiny or bad. Listening so well and behaving like perfect children. Next was Supper where they both did a great job eating there Chicken, Broccoli and Quinoia. Then we all went into Macies room to play. Wade got a little fussy around this point and Macie was struggling a bit to share so I put macie in the bath while I focused on Wade and played one on one with him for a bit. Next was Bottles, stories and then Bed. I guess I wore them right out as they both fell asleep in less then 15 minutes. What a great day, I love blogging about these days it helps me to remember how good my kids are and how much my Savior is watching over me, he knew I needed a good day today and I know he helped make that happen.
