So today I decided I would start off strong and do some pilates all by myself, followed but a cup of tea and a few minutes on the computer. Let me tell you after a full day of appointments and cleaning it feels great to stop. Aidan had his 3yr apt and was an angel, and yes he is happy and healthy at 3.5feet, 35lbs and a great bp and temp. He had to wear a gown so I told him it was a Batman cape, he wore it and I now have it in my home. After being out sick, hurt, and then on vacation, for 3 weeks the house was, well lets just say it wasn't pretty. Thankfully I found the motivation to get up off my booty and clean! Aidan woke up from his nap, which took 1.5hrs of patience to get him down, and said "Mommy you cleaned the house!" Guess I did a good job :)
Russell went on 2 bike rides today! One alone and one with his dad, lets just say his legs are going to be hurtin tomorrow! I see that it definitely helped him relax, he came in beaming and just so happy to be with his family.
Tonight we had Family Home Evening and it was great. I taught how the scriptures help us grow as we read them. The beginning of the lesson was the best.
Me: What are these? (holding up scriptures)
Aidan: Scriptures
Me: Who gave them to us?
Aidan: Heavenly Father
Me: Why did he give them to us?
Aidan: So we can learn to be like Jesus
Basically he taught it for me! I was so happy to know that he didn't need me to tell him that. Then we talked about how as we read them we grow closer to God and grow spiritually. We told the kids how the scriptures help us grow as people to be more like Jesus. Then we put those little capsules that grow into something (ours turned into tractors) into warm water and watched them grow. The kids loved it! Zeke was so happy playing with his dump truck. Our little Zeke loves the dirt, he would rather sit in a hole with a shovel than be inside anyday.
