Our Hour at Church

The kids and I went to church this morning and we were on time! That can be viewed as a bit of a miracle in itself. There was no Sunday School today so the kids went to church with me. They were very good.....with a few everyday occurrences that happen daily in our house which seemed to happen all in our church service! Gabriella decided to have a power struggle with me since she found gum in my purse and after I told her "no" she proceeded to dump it all out, then she "found" a piece she said was unwrapped, telling me she can't find the wrapper. I of course gave in and let her split a piece with Isaiah. You should have seen her smile from ear to ear as she chomped on that gum! Then we went up for communion and a family blessing and Isaiah tells the person who is serving the communion "No, I can't, I have gum". I have some work to do in that area! Meanwhile Isabella's nose was constantly running and I thought I was doing a good job at keeping it wiped until I looked down at my shirt and was disgusted by all the snot all over me. She started to get a bit fussy and so I put her up near my shoulder and then the next thing I know, a man comes up to me and says "your daughter just puked all over you", I look down and sure enough I have puke all on my shoulder and all in my hair (we were sitting near the front, bad idea with kids, I know). I then cleaned it up and said to the kids lets go (church was just getting over) and I looked down yet again, and saw my pants were coming undone in the front! I am utterly embarrassed that this all occurred in one hour plus at church but to be perfectly honest this is my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything! I love these beautiful precious gifts from the Lord!
