Valentines Day

I don't have any pictures of today, but what a fun day.
LuvLump and another young lady from our ward sang in church today. Their voices blend so nice together and both of them are in choir at school and have been taught well! (Not to mention the proud mommy moment!) We had a really nice Sacrament meeting and then....
Off to the Nursery! Today was my day for lesson and activity! I had the day planned. (As I was waiting for Sacrament Meeting to start, I was informed that two of my helpers were not going to be there today...Need to have a talk with those two! Don't they know that Nursery comes first? With a brief moment of panic, two of our most incredible brethren said that they would be happy to help in nursery today! I LOVE THESE MEN!) The first part was our usually playing with toys, getting the wiggles out after sitting in Sacrament Meeting for an hour. It was warm and sunny outside, so we let the kids go outside in the little play area with slides and other toys. It felt so good to stand in the sun and soak up the warm! Then we had snack time! I had made strawberry cupcakes, with coolwhip/frosting/strawberries dip, and apples. I am finding out which kids have very picky tastebuds, which ones are into dipping and which ones will not try new things. We have lesson time during snack time since they are really happy to hold still and eat. They do a good job of talking too! Then Sister Bitton came in for song time. Can I tell you how much I love Sister Bitton and song time? I LOVE SISTER BITTON AND SONG TIME TO THE MOON AND BACK! She is so fun with the kids and the little ones really seem to love song time. We do have a few movers and groovers, but for the most part, the kids are really good about staying on their chairs and do the hand actions and sing what parts of the songs they know. Then we had our activity. I had printed out pages with hearts all over it and we had chocolate and vanilla pudding to finger paint with. Again, you find out the kids that are into getting their hands in and having fun, the others that do not like to be messy and the ones that are there just to eat. The little containers that I had put the pudding was just big enough for hands but it was really challenging for one little one who really thought he could lick the pudding at the bottom of the container. (His tongue was just that much too short!) The brethren were perfect helpers. When we were playing, they played with the kids. When it was lesson time, they listened and made comments, when it was song time...you just have to see very tall Brother Boyer as we are singing and doing the actions to "Once there was a snowman"...priceless! How wonderful to have support from loving adults that will get in and be interactive with the kids and I don't have to direct them on what to do! This makes my calling that much more the best calling ever! (And I can not do this calling without Deanne! I would not even try!)
Then I can home to a steak dinner that my Sweetheart had cooked for me. He knows the way to my heart! Then a three hour nap! Yep! Today is a wonderful day!

Uncle Milo

When I was a kid, I had a Uncle Milo that would talk backwards. He was so fun to sit and listen to. I found this skit, that was posted on another friends blog that she found on youtube, that is one of the stories that Uncle Milo use to tell, done by some other faces that the older generation will remember...I miss my Uncle Milo. (Remember to go turn the music off on my page before watching the clip.) ( I moved the clip to the side bar! Go see it!)
