Today our stake is having a special temple day. They challenged everyone to spend 6 hours in the temple. Since Jeff and I knew this wouldn't be possible to do together, we are taking turns. He went this morning and I will go tonight. Here is the conversation I had with Lauren this morning.
Lauren - Mom, where is dad?
Me - He went to the temple.
Lauren starts to cry and says....Why did he go to the temple without you? I don't want him to get married again. You are the only mom for me.
Me wrapping my arms around her....Oh Lauren, dad isn't getting married again (polygamy is gone, yea!!!) There are lots of things to do in the temple besides getting married.
Lauren stops crying and gets a big grin on her face -- Like play dress up?
Me - Yes, like play dress up.
Lauren - Oh mom, I can't wait to play dress up with you in the temple!
Me - I can honey, don't grow up too fast but always remember that you want to play dress up in the temple.
Lauren is such a blessing from above. I thank my lucky stars that she is my sweet Lulu. My cousin said it best....Lauren is my sugar and Maddie is my spice. Life would be boring with out Maddie and I am thankful she is so unpredictable. I am the luckiest ever. As for Parker....he is ALL BOY and extremely curious.
