Sunday Drama

Oh my goodness church on Sunday was crazy! We finally took Jarom. I think we would have waited another week or so but we were asked to give the prayers so what do you do. Anyways, 5 min. before church starts we are just getting in the van to go. I hurried and shoved some diapers and wipes in my primary bag and off we went. We actually made it into church during the prelude music. What a miracle!!! We found our seats and we were good...for like 5 seconds.

Isaac started to escape right as we sat down. He is my very independent child. He will go and do whatever he wants and you can't stop him. Well you can but there's going to be a lot of screaming and kicking in the process. So, as he attempts to escape Koki looks at me to get him something to play with. I didn't really come prepared. I was in too much of a rush when we left. I reached for my primary bag in hopes that maybe I'd pull out Michelle Pfeiffer's bag from "One Fine Day" (if you haven't seen the movie Michelle Pfeiffer makes Halloween costumes from the stuff she just happens to have in her bag) . I literally was digging for creativity. What can I pull out of this thing to entertain my 22 month old? Ta dah...MAGNET STRIPS!!! I gave them to Isaac and showed him how these two cool black things can stick together. That ought to entertain him for a little bit. Not! He put them in his mouth and when he realized it wasn't food he threw them and started his escape again.

Now if Isaac were the only kid we needed to worry about then sacrament wouldn't have been so bad but we had two other kids and both took their turns at needing our attention. At one point Koki and I were both sitting on the couches in the foyer with the kids in our laps.

Man, how do people get anything out of sacrament meeting with kids under 4? Hopefully, we'll figure this out sooner rather than later.

(The pictures were taken right after church. Both boys were still really moody and I thought you all should see what we were dealing with in church.)
