joys of motherhood: May

Tucking her into bed the night before Mother's Day:

Caitlin: "Happy Mother's Day mom. Hey mom? Do they usually have sister day or brother day?"

Driving past the temple and Nolan says:

N: "Hey mommy! There's the temple! Last night we went to the temple together!!" 

(Last night = any time in the past)

me: "Yah we did! What did you think of the temple?"

N: "I liked it."

My kids love playing house. Caitlin is always the mom, Nolan goes between being either the Daddy or the pet dog, and Maverick is always their baby.

 I teach the 4-5 year olds in Primary at church (Caitlin's class). We have a lot of fun. On this day we acted out the story of Nephi going to get the brass plates. Costumes curtesy of Paul's t-shirts and my accessories and they did just the trick. Anything that takes 20+ minutes during class is a win.
