Sunday...aaahh, yes. It begins at 7a.m. so we can be out the door at 8:50 and on our way to church. Are we REALLY ever out the door on time? Well, some of us are. Malia and Tai decided to walk to church today while the rest of us frantically finished getting ready. As I walked into the chapel, looking for my two kids, Tai runs up to me and proudly notifies me that Malia has been yelling at him in the chapel and one guy even got up to move so he wouldn't have to sit next to "the Gonzales family." Nice, we're off to a great start! Things went fairly well the next three hours, especially after I threatened Malia that she better behave or, I don't know what would happen but it wouldn't be good. She was great and we were on our way to the remainder of our Sunday. One little side note...the primary was practicing for their program which is next week. Each child in Malia's class was asked to share their favorite scripture story. When they asked Malia, she proudly announced that her favorite story was when someone got their arms cut off. A little stunned, they asked her if there was maybe another story she could come up with where nobody gets hurt. Nope!! This was her favorite, there was no other. Finally, they talked her into "pretending" that her favorite story was when Jesus visited and blessed the children. When we were memorizing her part, she wanted to make SURE that I knew, without a doubt, that she did not like this story and she was still standing by the arms getting cut off story. Nice...ya gotta love it, right? Anyhow, this is how the rest of our Sunday was spent.

If I would've known french toast was on the menu, we would've been right over. Sundays are the longest days ever!!
I think you forgot 'taking Cru's cookie and having to bring him a bagful of Halloween oreos which he liked WAY more than his mommy's cookies anyways...'
Thanks for being so thoughtful, Nikki, really. Cru loved it!
