Our weekend

We found a pumpkin patch Friday night. It was the kid's first time getting pumpkins in a pumpkin patch and since we are moving to Belgium it was probably their last time, for while. They enjoyed it very much. RJ picked out the largest pumpkin he could find and Savannah go one just her size. It was so funny to look at the two next to each other. I will post pictures later.

The primary program was yesterday. It was RJ's first time being in it. He had his part all memorized and he was so excited to speak into the microphone. When it was his classes turn, the boy in front of him forgot his line. The teacher helping them whispered RJ's line for the boy to say. RJ got really flustered and wasn't sure what to do. When it was his turn. The teacher realized she had a mistake and tired to have RJ say the other boy's line. RJ said No. Of course the microphone was right there so everyone heard this little arguments even though they didn't really know what was going on. But the teacher didn't argue back and let RJ say his line. He was so upset and flustered at this point that even though he had it all memorized he still needed help. Needless to say, the show still went on, and the primary all did a great job. RJ however was really bummed out all day long. He dramatizes everything. If it would have happened to another kid I am sure it wouldn't have been that big of a deal, but it had to happen to RJ.

(The Primary Program is held once a year for children in Primary (ages 3-11). They put their program on during Sacrament meeting and they all have their turn to give talks and bear their testimony of Christ. They learn and practice songs all year for it and we all look forward to it every year.)

Also this weekend we moved Savannah from her crib to a toddler bed. She has done amazingly well. The first night she didn't get out of bed at all. Last night she got out once and told Daddy her nose hurt. He gave her a kiss and told her to go back to bed. She did and didn't come down again. Hopefully this continues.
