Primary Presentation and Trunk or Treat 2016

Last Sunday the kids had their primary presentation at church. If you aren't sure what that is, it is where the kids all get a chance to say a little part up the front and sing some songs. Lili and Auron both did well saying their parts but someone stood on Lili's foot during the first song and that was her finished. She went and sat down in the front row with Marcelle. Auron got to sing "I love to see the temple" in a little group...when I say sing I mean mouth the majority of the words haha. It's the experience that counts though. It is terrifying enough for an adult to get up and speak or sing in front of a few 100 people. Personally I am glad it is all over. It is so so so much work. One day I would love to be able to just sit and watch. I think that in my whole life the only time I was able to just sit and watch was when I was in youth. Aside from that I have either been in Primary myself or served in Primary.

Yesterday we went to an Art Muesum where the kids had an art class, then they were able to create their own piece of art work. The lady who runs the class is amazing with the kids. First she has them sit down in the reception area and talks about what kind of art we will look at today then takes them upstairs and sits them down in front of several different art works. She explains about the art and asks them questions and lets the kids ask questions. It is really neat to hear some of the questions and answers the kids give. Then we head over to the art studio to create something similar to the artists we have looked at. Aarahi really likes this part. Yesterday they had to create something that would help people or the earth and he made an "understand-inator" He pretended he was helping Ammon but really.....

Today was Trunk or Treat night at church. Lili and Auron have been looking forward to this for a couple of weeks now. Thankfully they already had costumes they wanted to wear. Aarahi and I made Ammon a Dobby costume this morning. He wasn't so keen on the idea but he was easily convinced once he saw everyone else dressed up. It was such a lovely night, with so many families and youth putting in a lot of effort to make it special for the kids. Ammon was definitely flavour of the night. The kids scored big on lollies and junk, which Daddy will be so pleased about. They have eaten a fair amount of it already, so much so that I am considering if they really need dinner.

We drove out to our new house today and they are making good progress, it was nice to see work actually being done on it. This summer is forecast to be super cold which is such a blessing for us as we only have one air con unit in the house we are in now.

Auron has been coming out with some interesting vocabulary lately. Last night he told me that the pizza we were eating was "the most delectable pizza he has ever had" It has been fun having him come to us and ask us what certain words mean and then to have him using them. He has such an amazing imagination I can't wait until he can write fluently, I am sure he will write some amazing stories.
