Well, I didn't have a hard time keeping anyone reverent in church, but that was only because we never made it there! Michael and David both seemed sick enough yesterday that I worried about taking them to church today; my biggest concern was that Michael would infect the entire nursery. Tommy was celebrating when he found out we would be staying home. While I lectured him, explaining that we should never be happy about missing church, I had to remind myself to practice what I was preaching. We are having a nice, calm day. We have been listening to the music for this year's primary program, I took time to read my scriptures well before bedtime (a goal I've been working on), and fortunately the kids seem to be on the mend.
Tommy is excited to make fruit salad tonight; he found a recipe on the Caillou website (not the famous Wiggle's Fruit Salad??), and Chris took him to get all the ingredients before he left. I thought it would be a good thing to look forward to for today, which it has been. Hopefully it is worth the wait. I just had Tommy show me how to access the recipe online, so I could provide a link here. It turns out you have to play a pretty involved game of looking in Caillou's cupboards for ingredients before the recipe shows up for printing. I will spare you the trouble, and include it here. Hopefully it will be Yummy Yummy!
