We went to church this weekend to give thanks and stuff. It was a Thanksgiving service, so it was a little bit longer than usual and the longer part was BEFORE the kids went to kid's time. Usually, they are whisked off to kid's time at the beginning of the service. This time, they had to sit and I had the audacity of insisting they listen and participate. They were shocked and not conforming as well as I'd hoped or insisted.
So, after lots of nagging, kid's time was coming up and I leaned down to Lucy and said,
"I want you guys to make sure you listen to the lesson at kid's time. Be good, and be appropriate."
Lucy says to me, "I know, Mom, you always tell us that and we always are." They are, but I don't think it's because they are just great kids, it's also because of my stellar reminders.
"Oh, you are always appropriate and listen well, huh?"
"Yep." And then she left to go to kids time.
THen I found her church bulletin art work she'd been doodling and writing on. In big letters at the top that said, "You are poop." It was directed towards her brother.
How appropriate.
That's how I roll.




This is hilarious!! Keep the program and stick it in her baby book.
Isn't church supposed to be a joyous place?
