I really love going to church each week. I look forward to becoming spiritually "recharged" and also being able to socially interact with people other than my immediate family (even though I love them so much).
Everything has changed since the kids have come into our family. Now everything has changed again since the kids are so active and know how to throw tantrums.
I used to look at certain families and think, Why cant they control their kids? And Why are they always taking their kids out into the hallway?
There were also families that I would look at and think, I want my family to be like that, their kids are so well behaved!
Well, God did not give me meek and mild little children.
In between balls ricocheting off of pews, goldfish being stomped into the ground, a near dumping of the sacrament tray, a crawling-under-the-pew getaway, a few screaming tantrums, and an accidental pulling up of mommy's skirt, the eternal hour finally ended.
Needless to say, ours were the first kids to nursery. They played in nursery while we cleaned and vacuumed the pew and hunted down their toys.
I am not the kind of woman to give up so easily. Next week I plan to come prepared for battle with some new ideas and strategies.
If only I could think of anything.

Oh what to do what to do. Oh that's right if I had the answers my kids would be the well behaved ones but no... Tijah's favorite pastime is kneel backwards on the pew while picking her nose staring at the people behind us.
Congratulations Meredith & Darin!! I'm way excited for you :)
