We'll start with a picture of these cute Halloweeners. This was one of those pictures that made me want to jump in my car and head to Idaho. It doesn't seem like they should be so cute when I'm not there to see them.
Moving on... Lately I have had the weirdest songs running through my head, seemingly out of nowhere. I decided to keep a list of them for my own amusement.
Simon and G-Funk "Bridge Over Troubled Water"
"You Must Love Me" from Evita
"When I Am Baptized" Primary song
Bryan Adams "Everything I Do, I Do It For You."
"Sisters" from White Christmas
The Bryan Adams song I can blame on my hair salon, where the guy sitting next to me was singing along to the radio. Quite loudly. To a 90s era Bryan Adams song. It was really hard for me to keep a straight face.
It was also hard for me to keep a straight face during the Primary Program on Sunday. Before the program, I had a very serious discussion with my 7 year-olds about reverence and let them make up a "secret signal" we would use on the stand if I thought they were being a little noisy and needed to remember they were in the chapel. (I didn't go through Level Two of the Elementary Education program at Utah State for nothing. I wanted them to own their secret signal and feel empowered by
it.) I learned that 7 year-olds love to come up with secret signals. They also are Super Quick to ignore them when sitting in front of the congregation during church. It seriously was like they had never seen me or our "secret signal" before and, what's more, no longer spoke English or understood that Shhhhhh is pretty universal for "we don't disco dance in Sacrament Meeting." The Primary Program is so unpredictable. It's my favorite Sunday of the year.
