My kind of day

It's been a good day. I got dinner mostly done this morning before church. Scott was at meetings all morning AND I still made it to church on time. I am almost finished baking those mint brownies that Natalie posted about a while ago. Just waiting on those darn things to cool so I can top them and stuff them in my pie hole.

We had FHE tonight instead of tomorrow night. Mondays have been a little crazy around here with football. I can really tell the kids are getting bigger. Hunter gave a talk today in primary and I pretty much wrote it. I had him tell me an experience, but I wrote it. As I was writing it I was thinking "this is silly...he should be writing his own talk". SO tonight he gave the lesson and did a pretty darn good job. Hannah picked the songs and lead the music- complete with a pencil as her little music wand thingee (what do you call those, I can't think of it, but you know). Hayden conducted and called on himself to give the opening prayer. I told him to think about what he was going to say, and gave just about the cutest prayer. He is very thankful for his baby sister Hope :). Scott and I??? We just sat there and listened. It was nice.

Today all the talks were about having and following the Spirit. And I realized I have been slacking on my own personal prayers/scripture reading. Not that I wasn't doing it...just not all the time. We had a sharing time today in Primary about two little boys. Sister Call used two glasses as a little demo. One boy was doing the things he should be doing, but not all the time-very hit or miss. The other little boy was doing what he should be doing all the time. Each glass got a little drop of water when they did what they were supposed to do. Of course the glass of the little boy that did what he was supposed to be doing all the time had a pretty full glass. The other little boy, not so full. The moral of the story, if you do what you're supposed to be doing, you'll be filled with the Spirit. I sat there, and I was thinking my glass wouldn't be full!! I do what I'm supposed to, a lot of the time, but I can do better. Sad when the children's sharing time is right on my level. haha

Shout out to my friend Jennifer who has gotten me motivated to finally REALLY start running again. She has been hitting it hard, and has inspired me to get moving too. I've been working out, but the running...has been pretty hit or miss. I would do it feeling only slightly motivated. BUT I got some new running shoes and all is well. Scott and I both got Brookes-Trance shoes. They are the Editor's pick in Runner's World. Yeah for new shoes, and a new found motivation. I'm going to run the Houston 1/2 Marathon in January, sooo, I needed to start hitting the running.

I think those brownies are cool enough now, ready for some topping.
