The weekend and more

Sallie sang in church this morning at Eastminster Presbyterian Church where she attends the day school. The three and four year olds from the day school attended the early service and sang 4 songs in their worship service. It was so cute and Sallie did great. She sang loud and did all her hand motions. I was so proud of her. The sermon was focused on the children in the church and making sure that parents are fully equipped with what they need to teach the children. It was very good. The preacher told stories of the children in chapel on Wednesdays and what the kids from the day school do while they are there. He talked about how each class gets up and says their bible verses that they are working on for the month. They then close the service with a song. He said that on his first time doing chapel with the kids, he expected total chaos but it was so orderly. He went to say the Lords Prayer and heard little 3 and 4 year old voices reciting it with him. It was so cute and made me so proud of where Sallie and Anna attend school. We are truly so lucky to have such a wonderful school for them to go to. We planted a garden this weekend in the back yard and will hopefully have some yummy home grown veggies to eat around mid summer. Sallie has asked me on many occasions already where the vegetables are. She does not understand why they have not already grown. Anna slept until 10 am Saturday morning and I wanted to record this somewhere because this is truly a record. I really was worried and must have gone in her room 3 or 4 times. I had to wake her up at 10 am. She would have slept even longer. She went to bed a little later Fri night but not that late. It was probably 8:30. She is going to be my sleeper for sure. It was a rocky start with her sleeping but now she goes to bed at 7 and wakes at 8 or 8;30 am. I could not ask for more! Sallie on the other hand goes to bed finally at like 9 and wakes up at like 6:30 or 7. She does still take that nap though that I do love. When we tucked Anna into bed last night she goes straight for the corner of her crib and gets up on her knees with her knees tucked under her and her bottom in the air. She looks up as you leave the room and says "night night, lobe you". It is so sweet!! That is her new cute little saying. She is absolutely precious right now and I really could eat her up. She is talking up a storm and has gotten really good at talking on the phone. She makes me really question what I say on the phone now because she is like a parrot and will get on a pretend phone and say "yea, yea". I must say "yea" alot. She is also always talking to Peppy. Peppy must talk on the phone a lot too. Sallie always says "all right" and Anna now says "okay". These must be two words that are used a lot in our house. Anyway, between Anna and Sallie, they are keeping us on our toes and full of laughter.
