today was owen's first day fasting. he was so hungry. so so hungry. we said a prayer to help him, we came up with a reason to fast. all was in order. during testimony meeting, he bore his testimony and said that heavenly father helps us when we have troubles. it was perfect. he never looks nervous just self assured and confident.
by the end of church we saw that his class was given cookies. COOKIES on fast sunday. whatever. so i had a bite. i always finish a fast after church, sophie breaks her fast with a prayer. when we saw owen down on the gate i assumed he had dug right into those cookies. Sophie asked if he broke his fast. he said, No! we found out he thought that meant eating when he wasn't supposed to. so cute. then i asked if he had already eaten some and he said, no and that he thought we weren't eating until dinner. so there he was, making sure he was keeping the rules, doing it right. we said a prayer to break our fasts in the car on the way home. he was so excited that he got to eat right after church. good, owen . good good boy.
Then we went to the chris and jan's house for fireworks. we walked down to CBS and Simon was just in awe of the fireworks. he sat very still watching the show. would coo at the pops and crackles but not afraid. really seemed to like it. at one point i gave him to doug and he was craning his neck to see the show. love that boy.
Sophie and willa are so funny. she changed her outfit a bunch of times before we went over there, making sure she had red, white and blue. then she went and found red white and blue outfits for everybody and was trying to get us all to change in to them. she's so cool.
and penny. miss pie. she enjoyed the fireworks a little. she put her two bitty fingers into her ears and would say. "loud!, loud mama!!" she was very cute and chris and jans afterward. playing with baby dolls, waving at chris with teeny fingers, talking all cute. it was a good day.
