Sunday {July 17}

Drew chose Jason to read to him before his nap today.  He prefers to nap without clothes these days.

Lest you think the above picture implies our Sabbath was perfectly peaceful, while I captured this sweet moment, here’s what was going on around the rest of the house.

Having our new home teachers coming at 2pm started off our Sunday afternoon with some household tension.  Justin usually cooks on Sunday and he isn’t a quick (or clean) cook so while he tried to make something “fast”…

…Abigail was indexing when she was supposed to be loading the dishwasher (after multiple warnings Justin ended up telling her she wouldn’t get to eat lunch)

…Carly was tucked away in the bonus room reading when she was supposed to be putting away her dirty clothes left on the bathroom floor

…Katie was reading on her bed when she was banished to her bedroom with a warning to not come out until her laundry was put away (which was supposed to have been done yesterday)

Lunch was served just 15 minutes before our home teachers were due to arrive (thankfully, they were late) and just so no one worries, Abigail ended up earning back lunch by helping Katie put her clothes away.

We broke away from our typical Sunday afternoon routine of playing games and ventured over to Grandma & Grandpa Fletcher’s house for the afternoon/evening.  The kids were fully entertained by their cousins and Grandma whipped together a yummy dinner and cake for dessert.

Drew thought Grandma’s plant mover thing-a-ma-gig was pretty fun
