Get Me To The Church On Time

The past two months we've been having a hard time getting to church on time. Not really late, but over 5 minutes. I think a lot of people in our congregation must be having the same problem, because as we were walking in the building the bishop announced something to the effect of "get here on time because you're detracting from the spirit by arriving late." Of course he was preaching to the choir, all except for us. Oh well. Someone mentioned in Elders quorom today that his Grandma says that you go to church "to show what team you're on." So even if we're sometimes a little late, at least we're on the Lord's team.

We also just barely got Saffron's Minnie Mouse hat off before we went inside. Lisette was looking at a Disneyland photo album this morning, so it must have inspired her little sister to wear her hat. She was pretty cute, though. I'm sure everyone would have smiled to see her march in with her mouse ears.


We ate dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Ashton's house tonight, like we usually do. Brian and Wendy both had friends over for dessert and a cousin came over too, so it was a lot of fun with such a big group. Then they got started talking about personality tests, and before they were through, there were 5 laptops on the table with everyone taking tests and laughing together.

Miles and Ian made elaborate Lego worlds downstairs, Saffron sat on the doll chairs, and Lisette hung out with her aunts and uncles. We picked some of their tomatoes and apples. We called it a night and the kids took their Otter Pops and gave sweet goodbye kisses.
