Maybe the habit is starting to pay off, or the injuries to mom encourage piety.<br /><br />:)LutherLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10949785104237442171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-84447951271357581732010-06-03T13:45:32.760-05:002010-06-03T13:45:32.760-05:00Oh Sarah, you crack me up!

I love Justin's reaction or lack there of to your head butt experience-I hate it when that happens...it is SO incredibly painful and happens more often than you'd think! Oh and we have learned to keep a foot or leg propped against the kneeler so Savannah can't pull the same stunt. And she usually makes it fairly well until right before Communion, that must be the time limit. One time we actually made it early and I think that was a mistake, turned out to be the longest mass ever....I've decided that showing up late with a toddler in tow just might be the way to go ha ha, of course who am I kidding I can't show up on time anywhere ha ha. Oh and P.S. you could always join us at St. Peter's at 9 if you're too late for the 8:30 (we have to switch it up sometimes when we just can't make it outta the house on time!)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01014699148300634736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-13789779756636767132010-06-03T07:10:50.247-05:002010-06-03T07:10:50.247-05:00Oh how terrible!

At least it was good for a few laughs. :) And no, I'm not laughing at your pain... more at the line, "Justin assumed I was overcome with some sort of spiritual emotion." <br /><br />I hope your next mass is injury-free!une autre mèrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08785118854145562521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-19053101981686875022010-06-03T06:01:01.576-05:002010-06-03T06:01:01.576-05:00Oh man.

I hang my head in shame.<br /><br />We had more than one progeny who didn't like to sit still. I will tell you what I did, once they had some "word knowledge" under their belt. I got each of them their own "Sunday word book". It was a blank notebook with lines. Each Sunday I wrote out a bunch of words that they were supposed to be listening for during the sermon. Easy and simple words. They needed to just make a hash mark beside the word every time they heard it. My kids are such word nerds that they loved it. And it kept them quiet.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11326484192966920116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2356238098880523445.post-83975995125397391872010-06-02T21:36:31.011-05:002010-06-02T21:36:31.011-05:00Really really sorry to have laughed out loud at a ...Really really sorry to have laughed out loud at a very painful moment, but as Corinne said, I couldn't hold it in when you suggested Justin thought you were overcome with the Spirit or something! lol.
