Sunday, Sunday!

Sunday mornings are such peaceful times for us at the Bangerter house. I dread at times the process of getting my 3 1/2 year old son ready for church. It kinda goes like this..

Mom: "Hunter it's Sunday today, Let's eat breakfast than get our church clothes on, Ok?"
Hunter: No, Mom I'm not going to church today, I will stay home".
Mom: You can't stay by yourself!
Hunter: It's Ok Mom, I'm not afraid.

The next hour of getting ready seems like pulling teeth with my wonderful son. I usually lay out a cute outfit for him on the bed, and let him know how handsome he is going to look. He than decides it is time to put on some silly outfit, like his frog costume or his Red satin soccer shorts. One Sunday we gave up and decided, it is more important for him to be with us at church, than for him to be dressed up. That Day he wore his shorts, graphic T-shirt and tennis shoes, and a smile on his face. Oh how I love the trials of parenting, I guess it could be worse right? What do I do to not be set up for these weekly sabbath battles.

As it says in the above comic strip; "Where were going can't be fun, cause you made me wear my Sunday clothes". I really hope he grows out of this sabbath day morning ritual.

It's the thought that counts!

So here is Mother's Day Revisited. Mason Made me an adorable Mother's day card, and is was so precious the picture he drew of the both of us.(Apparently we are both wearing blue jeans with out shirts, gotta love it!) The Boys and daddy were so sweet treating me like a princess for the day. Mason made me breakfast, he told me to choose something and I told him to surprise me, and that's just what he did. I got a big Bowl of "LIFE" cereal, it was the greatest. The boys both sang A Mother's day melody at church and it was so cute. Hunter came back after it was over and told me."Mom, I didn't even sing MOM"! Well I guess it's the thought that counts, gotta love my boys!
