Church was fun.  Kalyn and Keali behaved better than other Sundays, but there is still room for improvement.  I was told by a woman that she overheard Kalyn in the restroom explaining the mechanics of 'going potty' to her nursery leader, and I got to change 2 nasty diapers for Keali.  On the up side though, the Primary learned a new song and I love hearing them sing.  We also had two talks given by Primary children and both were wonderful.

I came home with Keali while Heath stayed with Kalyn for a baptism.  Kalyn LOVES baptisms and is always disappointed that she hasn't gotten to do it yet.  I think she just wants to get in the gigantic bathtub!  At home I got supper ready and made some 'surprise' cupcakes.  Heath loves strawberry cake with strawberry icing so I picked some up the other day.  It was my and Kalyn's secret that we were going to surprise Daddy with. 

When Heath headed home, I spoke with Kalyn on the phone and told her about the cupcakes but swore her to secrecy.  She apparently doesn't know what that means because she kept telling her Daddy about the 'secret cupcakes' that he wasn't supposed to know about--"It is Mommy's and my secret!"  Cute, but I see I will have to be guarded about secrets in the future.

I finally had to do it.  I was forced and left with no other choice.  The imaginary friends got sent home.  I just cannot have children in my house who refuse to live by my rules.  When Kalyn informed me that her friends were not going to help her pick up her room, Heath and I told her that they would have to go home if they were not willing to help clean up the mess that they made.  Afterwards Heath laughed at me because I disciplined imaginary children.  What other options did I have, I ask you?
