Sundays and Cute Dresses

I have been feeling it difficult to find appropriate Sunday activities that keep Madeline entertained. I mean, "appropriate" is a personal decision, but I feel we need activities that uplift and encourage us to be better and more religious...if that makes sense. We have been in the habit of watching television and being couch potatoes. Today, though, we have hymns playing on the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Pandora channel. It is a nice way to have the spirit in our home. I found a list on lds.org but none of the items are quite child-friendly except reading a book or visiting friends/family. Here is the list:

1. Read the scriptures, conference reports, and Church publications.
2. Study the lives and teachings of the prophets.
3. Prepare Church lessons and other Church assignments.
4. Write in journals.
5. Pray and meditate.
6. Write to or visit relatives and friends.
7. Write to missionaries (friends, family members, ward members).
8. Enjoy uplifting music.
9. Participate in family gospel instruction.
10. Hold family council meetings.
11. Read with a child.
12. Do family history research, including filling out pedigree charts and
writing in family or personal histories.
13. Sing Church hymns.
14. Read uplifting literature.
15. Develop an appreciation for the cultural arts.
16. Plan family home evening study and activities.
17. Plan other family activities.
18. Friendship nonmembers.
19. Fellowship neighbors.
20. Visit the sick, the aged, and the lonely

So, this list seems good. I think playing with my children will be added to the list since children just need to play.

We put ALL of her clips in her hair because she found where I keep them. She was feeling extra pretty.

Marcus' Aunt Cheryl gave us three super cute dresses for Madeline. This is just one. They are from Zulily.com 

Marcus gave me a manicure using teal and black crackle nail polish. He did a pretty good job. 

How can I not be in love?! 

Look at that outfit! :)
