"Silent Sunday"

I was a great Sunday.  I was able to hear every word in Sacrament meeting.  I didn't have to play the dot game or distract/entertain a young child.  I didn't have to say, "You are going to have to wait till after Sacrament Meeting to get a drink!"  I didn't have to play with anyone's hair or scratch their backs.  I didn't have to "Shush" anyone.  I just sat their and listened in peace. 
 And this is why...
(Payton asleep on the chapel  floor)

This has not happened in about 5 years.  Payton never falls asleep, EVER!
It was a great Sunday!

Silence really is golden. I'm glad you got to actually enjoy church for a change.

The picture didn't work. But that is awesome!! I can't wait for those days to come back my way! I know I've got several years of entertaining and wrestling children.

Fix the pic!

I'm glad little miss cranky pants felt better after I gave her the gift bag! Waking up in church-I think I'd be cranky too!

So cute! I love her dress!! I love that she is asleep! My oldest was semi-sick yesterday and I enjoyed sacrament meeting SO much more.

p.s. I promise I will post your interview soon!!! I am just behind in everything and want to spend time getting it right. Have fun at Women's Conf and give everyone a hug from me!

I am going to be ticked if next time I go to church I have to go through a security screening. Next time you see your Bishop ask him if camara's are allowed in the chapel....

Lauren said...

Hazen5 said...

Grandma,
Camera phones are exempt from that rule!

Most Sundays I wish I could do that. I think people might notice though.
