Sundays

Every Sunday is interesting because I never know what Brady and Logan are going to say or do during sacrament meeting. Snacks are a must in our family to keep the kids quiet, but sometimes they can get a bit out of hand. On Sunday, November 9th, Logan wanted a fruit snack, but we just ran out so I gave him an animal cracker. He obviously did not want that because the next thing I knew, he threw the animal cracker and it hit the guy sitting behind us in the chest. Poor guy! I have thought about not bringing snacks, but the kids get restless. I bring other things for the kids to do such as looking at books or coloring, but it doesn't seem to keep them entertained long enough. Sometimes I feel like I never get to hear the announcements or talks because the kids always need something! Logan is not the only one to act up during sacrament meeting. Brady has some stories of his own! A couple of months ago, Brady was being a little noisy during the sacrament. I leaned over and wispered to him that during the sacrament is a time that we think about Jesus. Brady yelled really loud, "I don't want to think about Jesus!" Then a few weeks ago, I took his snacks away from him because it was during the sacrament. I was trying to teach him that we dont't need snacks during the sacrament because he was being loud and it was distracting. He then yelled out before we could take him out, "I just want to go potty!" Everybody turned to look at us so it seemed, and I was so embarrassed. I just don't know how parents get their kids to be so good, but I just keep trying to work with them! I keep telling myself to never give up, and they will eventually get it! Hopefully sooner than later!
