Holiday

Heard this morning:
"can we just have this count as Mothers day or your birthday?"

We all slept in. (waking up past 7 counts as sleeping in)
Everyone woke up on their own.
Tucker slept!
(he slept for the second time in his whole 18 months of life, a solid nights sleep-11 straight hours)
Everyone woke relatively happy.
Went to bed with clean sheets and got up to a clean house and clean towels.
Had a delicious pancake breakfast made by the pancake maker himself!
We have the whole day ahead of us, to watch conference, to rest, to nap, to eat yummy food.

Maybe what was so great about this was that it was unexpected. No unmet expectations ... it exceeded my expectations.

I will hang on to the feelings of this morning ... for all the other normal Sunday mornings we experience.

Our day was almost the opposite of yours. We slept in, but had to go to the church for temple recommend interviews. The kids (Fuller) was upset about putting on Sunday clothes (even though he didn't even have a tie and wore his sandals.) When we returned home and there was some complaining about being hungry. Once we ate and conference started, the day was perfect.
