Every Sunday is a gamble..how long will it take before Madden takes off under the pews, will the kids be quiet enough for me to hear at least part of a talk, will anything be thrown into our neighboring pews, you get the idea. Well today's action wasn't even on my radar.
My friend had asked if his children could sit with us because he had to speak and his wife was out of town. So against by better judgement, we sat in a middle pew (we always sit in a side pew so I can contain them better and we're in Tyson's line of view).
I was sitting at one end of the pew and the nine kids (my 6 plus the Hurst boys) were lined up all the way down to the other end. About 30 minutes into the meeting I was congratulating myself on how well we were doing when I heard a noise that caused me to look down to the other end. OH. MY. HECK. Coleman was on top of McCoy wrestling him! Seriously. McCoy was laying down with his legs hanging into the aisle and Coleman was laying on him squeezing his head. I "jumped" up but not before they rolled off the pew and hit the floor, all the while never letting go of eachother. At that point everyone noticed them and Wyatt pulled Coleman off. Needless to say the Spirit I was feeling was replaced by the spirit of "I'm going to kill these two."
I could have sworn our stake president said we would be blessed with the Spirit while Tyson served as Bishop. Really? Really?
That is too funny. I may be laughing now~but I sure wasn't during sacrament mtg yesterday either! I think kids have a "crazy act out meter" for quiet, hold still mtgs. I keep getting older people come up to me after church and tell me that I will miss these days and to enjoy them! WHAT?! So apparantly we WILL miss these crazy caotic sacraments.......one day!!! :)
