Part two of the “Potty-Mouth” saga.

Peyton likes to keep me on my toes.  Let’s just say that.

Yesterday before sacrament meeting started, she was being too wiggly and irreverent.  I took her out before the meeting began and talked to her about what was expected of her while we were in the chapel.  We went back in and soon after, she picked up where I had interrupted her the first time, which earned her another private visit with mom in the foyer.

Third time’s the charm, right?

Nope.  Not so much.

Right as the Aaronic Priesthood were passing the sacrament, she started again.  I pulled her onto my lap, to whisper in her ear to be reverent only to have her start saying rather loudly: “Shut….”

Now with her most recent behavior, I expected “up” to follow that shut.

I got my hand over her mouth just in time to muffle: “Your mouth mom..” 

I was so relieved that it wasn’t “up”, but slightly embarrassed that most of the people who were sitting behind us (we were on the FRONT row) heard.

Sister Alexander was laughing so hard, tears were coming out of her eyes, and a snort escaped as well.

(I am sure it helped that Peyton kept repeating it, just in a loud whisper.)

She kept apologizing for her laughter, but thanked us for the moment.

I hope little miss potty mouth stops her shenanigans soon.

Again?!

So here I am.. up at 7:30 on a Saturday, of all days, the day we get to typically sleep in..
Up because Ash has a cough, again.. I'd like to blame it on this poor air quality.. thank heavens there are storms coming to push all the gunk out.. her poor little body can't take much more of this.
Mucinex, Tylenol, and "Superman Air" (breathing treatments) seem to be the never-ending cycle for the past 48 hours now..
Peyton isn't faring any better.. runny nose and diarrhea.. I know why, I can see why, she's cutting another tooth! I can't wait for her to cut molars.. those were even funner with the other two!
I am bummed because I think I am going to miss Josh's party tonight and our ward conference tomorrow.. I love church every week, but I really love ward conference. I get to hear form our local leaders, sustain them, and sustain the many auxiliary leaders of our ward.. they do so much for our ward family! I was really looking forward to sustaining Julie again.. :)
Well.. we will just have to see how it goes..

Ahhh.. Sunday...

We love our Sunday around here.. 9-12 church, as I have said before is AWESOME!!!
Today, we just relaxed (after church of course..).
We don't really get into sports much..
Olympics is really the only sporting event we get into.. I think I'd rather be playing :)
So, with the Superbowl on today, Merrill thought it would be fun to pick a team to root for and watch. Now, mind you, we know nothing about the teams playing, we didn't even know who was playing.. so it was interesting.
Steelers was my pick, cause I know they were good back in the day..
Merrill's was Cardinals..
We had fun.. the girls cared only about the treats.. like their mom..
Merrill and I had a nice, relaxing evening...
BUT I WON!!!! :)

Giggles..

My cousin, Bonnie, made a comment that someday, Peyton would laugh at this... the probability that she left that comment while I was waiting for my camera battery to charge is huge.. so huge I put it in the boldest largest font possible.. but about that camera battery, Santa should have brought us a spare..
Anywhoo.. Peyton seems to think the situation is funny.. now. Don't ask how she reacts when the big ol' ball comes a rollin' out.. which the ballistophobia is the clostest to the fear of balls.. it was fear of flying objects such as bullets.. what the name for fear of clowns (shudder..)?

She thinks it is even funnier watching herself watching it and laughing at it while she's watching.. we could go on and on and on...
Meanwhile...
The church became just a bit more true today..
We moved from 1-4 block time to 9-12 ;) Truth abounds!!
It was quite a lovely day indeed. It could have been a little easier if Peyton had slept more than she fussed last night. 4 am came and suddenly, in her little world, it was "playtime". I was one tired momma.. 4 maybe almost five hours of sleep?..
Here's pics from today and yesterday... oh how I wish I'd had my camera with me yesterday night... Christie, you MUST re-create and post ;)
...good times...
On to pictures of the day(s)..
Yesterday:We do stress oral hygiene.. no halitosis, gingivitis, or cavities allowed.. start 'em young!!
And today:
Lately this is Lynn and Mer's favorite thing to do together.. their little quip to everything now is: "Oh.. that's awfully sweet of you, but I'd rather be KINGED!!"
So blessed to have such an awesome husband who lives to play with his kids...

Another Sunday... with NO calling...

Really? I am getting kind of worried... three Sundays out in open water, and still, nothing.
I did give the lesson today in RS, and I think it went well. I get into the spirit of that, and it feels like an out-of-body experience. I hope people actually understood what it was I was trying to teach...
Sunday School was awesome. It touched on things that I touched on in my own lesson. I love how things intertwine like that.
It was a rare occasion that the whole family slept in until 10 this morning. Kinda nice. Can't do that in a month.. 9 am church... woohooo!!!
Peyton is done nursing :(. She wants nothing to do with me. I had to break out the pump which was packed away, to help relieve the 2 day back-up from her not needing me anymore. She is doing things sooner than the other girls. Lynn nursed until I got pregnant with Ash, she was 14 months old. Ash gave up around this same age... but neither of them cut their first tooth until just after their first birthday. They were both walking around nine to ten months... that's where Peyton is, trying it out. I have had on my cute, regular, uplifting Victoria's Secret bra for maybe a month now... the only time I had been nursing her was at bedtime or in the middle of the night when I could catch her drowsy and unaware... no more of even that... I am sad, will I ever get to do this again? Well, I know I will... but I am so going to miss it!
