This past week I have been pretty stressed out and a bit depressed I must say. A lot going on with the kids, my calling, kids school, life, church etc etc. So - Thursday was especially bad. I was a mess. Finally, at noon I decided I better pick myself up out of my doldrums and go shower. I headed up to my room and much to my surprise the bed was already made and Todd and I had had an early Valentines gift! My sweet, almost 9 year old daughter!!!! How adorable is that -- see above 2 lower pictures?!!
She had just been to Activity Day Girls the previous night and must have learned it there. I love it! I have been so wrapped up in my boys' scouts for so long that I really havent taken the time to appreciate what Christen is learning and doing in Activity Day Girls. Its more than just doing a valentines surprise - or making a prayer rock for the first time. She is learning the articles of faith, service, scriptures, music, prayer and much more --- aspects of the gospel that she will use the rest of her life.
I am thinking I want to be an Activity Day Girl Leader - in the ward - or at least be over the Activity Day Girls in my Stake Primary Presidency. (Scout stuff has been very draining on me of late. It is not the part with the boys or my sons' activities - its just all of the adminitatrative stuff in my calling that has been bogging me down)
Anyhow, thank you sweet Christen! You made my day!!!
I had to reciprocate of course - top photo - I couldnt move it down.
