Church

Sometimes I wonder if its worth the struggle of sitting through the service with two active kids. I think it's important for them t learn how to sit through church but at the same time it's an exercise in patience in juggling their needs for an hour while trying not to irritate all the people that are sitting around us.

Yesterday, they weren't that bad but at the same time they were full of it. Here are some examples of what I dealt with during a one hour service.

Josh and Mikayla both saw Dan as we walked in: "There's Daddy!!!!"

Josh was counting all the pegs on the seats. He got up to 10! Although I'm proud of him, he didn't have to do it out loud.

Josh: My butt! It itches.

Josh: Look, a sword! There is one in the stained glass pictures

I took Josh out at one point and he said 'I'm going to grab momma's hippos!' and he did. I probably don't have to explain what he calls hippos. Luckily I was in the lobby and my back was turned at the time.
