Pick a Pumpkin

Bryan and I went to the pumpkin patch a few days before Halloween to pick out a good pumpkin. I think we picked the cutest one there!
We had lots of fun at Michelle's very first Trunk-or-Treat! We even ran into Uncle Daniel aka Alvin (from Avlin and the Chipmunks).

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

God's Sense of Humor

I know I don't usually post on Sundays, but this just couldn't wait!

At 9:00 this morning I had a presidency meeting- leaving Michelle to Bryan's care. Well Bryan decided that while I was at my meeting he was going to take Michelle for a walk. When he came home, and my meeting was over, it was almost 10:30 so I had just enough time to feed Michelle and get us out the door and to church on time. While I was feeding Michelle I asked Bryan how his walk was. He told me that it was very relaxing and that Michelle had actually taken a nap. He then explained that while he was on his walk he got a strong feeling that we should stay home from church today and study our scriptures together. I reminded him that there is a reason we go to church and that we are not able to get that from reading the scriptures. He responded that he knew that and that in his head he knew we should be going to church, but he really felt that we should stay home and spend time together reading scriptures. After a few huffs and puffs I told him that if he really felt strongly about it that he could stay home and read, but Michelle and I were going to church. Well, he huffed back and said that he REALLY felt like we were supposed to do things as a family today! I told him that he should pray about it and let me know what he felt after praying. So he did. At this point there was only about 2minutes left before we had to leave or we would be late. After two minutes of me packing Michelle up and putting her things in the diaper bag I asked Bryan if he had gotten an answer to his prayer yet. He told me that he had not and in his head knew that we should go to church even though he had felt that we should stay home so Bryan got into the car with me and we went to church. Once we got there Bryan noticed that Michelle felt wet and needed a diaper change. Well, we were already running late so I told him that I would change her after sacrament was passed. He said ok and we headed into church. Well as soon as we sat down Bryan smelt the smell of something that smells smelly so I picked up the diaper and wipes and took Michelle from Bryan to go change her. As I was walking past I noticed a rather large smudge of poo across Bryan's shirt. I told him to quickly grab Michelle's bags and we headed out the door. When I got into the mother's room I realized that I also had a larger smudge of poo poo all down the front of my shirt. We came to the realization that, as a family, we had been crapped on. So what's the moral of this story? Listen to Heavenly Father's promptings or you'll have a crappy day.

He thinks He's sooooo funny.
