Today at church was our ward conference. We got to church just in time to snag the very last row on the far side. Which happens to be a very small bench. As Kevin and I sat down with our three kids, he leaned over to me and said I think we are getting to big for this bench. The kids are like to and need to be able to spread out a little. As Cole and Dailey were fighting over there spots of where they wanted to sit (yes fighting at age 5 and 2) somehow Kevin and I ended up sitting right next to each other. Which seems like has not happened in quite sometime. Usually there is a child in between us. I realized how much I have missed not being right next to him.
When we were first married with no kids we would play little games like: while singing the hymns he would cover a word with his finger to see if I would sing the right word or not. We also would try and guess who would be going up to bear their testimonies too. I am sure that is not the best game to play but we did play it. I know, I know we should be reverent. But it was so fun to have him lean over and whisper to me. Things like at what point would the elderly people in front of us give in and leave the meeting due to our children. Funny thing, we have sat behind them before and unintentionally, keep ending up behind them we have drove them to leave early before not on purpose. Sorry cute older couple. It's hard to remember how it is with little ones around but please remember. Or if you can't we will try to sit farther away!
My kids were yelling, (well it felt like yelling, since I am pretty sure they do not have a whisper voice) things like I go POTTY, Dad, You didn't WIPE me very good, the church's tp is hard, I go POTTY. I think Kevin took them to the bathroom three different times. I am getting better at not being embarrassed and realizing, Hey we all gotta go and they just happen to shout it to everyone. I actually felt like I handled it better than I usually do. Maybe that is because hey we can handle going out to the potty fifteen times. It's the throw up stuff that is the real embarrassing thing. Right?! I also think that sitting by Kevin and being able to laugh about it together really helped. Cole said another really funny thing. He heard them say thanks for the bishop's remarks and he turn to us and said "what? The Bishop's from Mars" it was pretty funny. Through all of that I was able to listen.
We had a member of our stake presidency speak to us along with our bishop. They both gave A-mazing talks. The parts I heard of them. :)
I really LOVE hearing this particular counselor speak. He is just amazing and than I got to hear him speak again in Relief Society too. It was a great Sabbath Day.
