Sacrament Program, Max, and School Activities

This year I had the opportunity to write our Primary Sacrament Meeting program. It was a lot of work and a little stressful, but it was so worth it when the whole thing came together. All of the kids did a great job and I felt like the spirit was really strong. Jacob and Nathan both said their parts and appeared at times like they were actually singing the songs!

What handsome boys!

One random Sunday after church Max decided that he wanted to go potty in the toilet! He went and so I put underwear on him and was hoping that we were on our way to being potty trained. WRONG! He had accidents all day and ever since then has refused to even try to go in the toilet or wear underwear. What is wrong with boys??? I still have a goal of getting him potty trained before this baby gets here, but I'm running out of time and no progress has been made so I'm starting to lose hope. So sad.

Nathan got a little rough with Max playing in the backyard and this was the end result. The sad thing is that as soon as it was almost healed, Nathan pushed him again and scraped his nose up again. Let's just say that Nathan was in more than a little trouble and hasn't pushed him since!

Max has sucked his thumb ever since he was born. It drives Jon crazy as it is making his teeth come in weird, but the doctor tells us we shouldn't worry about it and that he'll stop when he's ready. I'm pretty sure that he's not quite ready to quit since he has now added a head rub with the thumb sucking. As soon as his thumb goes in his mouth, his hand goes up to his head and he rubs it on his hair. Weird, but kind of cute!

Nathan had his Thanksgiving feast at school with all of the kindergarteners and their big buddies. Nathan always talks about his big buddy and was excited to get to sit by him and eat his Thanksgiving meal with him.

You might think his buddy is just a year or two older, but he's actually a 5th grader! I'm pretty sure Nathan is almost as big as him!

The next day was Jake's turn to celebrate. His class had a day long celebration of our Native American ancestors. They played with clay, made little satchels and beaded necklaces, baked bread, made butter and lots of other little activities. Jake had a great time and I think enjoyed the break from his normal routine!
