Today, I committed to attending church this weekend. Of course, I've accepted being lutheran, so we planned to head to Zion at 5:30 tonight instead of attempting to make a morning service. More low key, laid back, less people...
So, we go and Peyton does great half way through. Then Griffin decides to very LOUDLY fill his pants and sound like he's having a full on blow out. Then, offertory comes along and Peyton is all excited. Lane hands her the envelope, then hands her a kleenex because she's been picking her nose. Then she hands Lane the envelope back and the woman comes along with the offering plate. Peyton quickly puts her kleenex in the plate, Lane puts the envelope in, and...all this happening in front of my eyes...the woman continues on. It was like I didn't even see or get that it happened until after when Lane whispers to me "SHE PUT A KLEENEX IN THERE!!!"
After that she loudly whispered that it wasn't "that exciting at all" to be at church and she kept asking if we could leave.
I thought it would be good to get back in the swing of things, since we are doing a fair amount at the church already but I guess she expected crafts and snacks and games or something. I'm not sure I have the confidence to go again next weekend!!!???

I love this story. We just about lose our religion every Sunday trying to get to church and all the ruckus in church with the baby and whatnot!
