The Great Brownie Escapade
The children were quiet. I knew this wasn't good so I went looking for them. They *were* playing outside in the backyard. They snuck into the kitchen, snatched the pan of brownies, hauled them outside onto the deck and finished them off. Luckily there were only four left in the pan when they got to it.
It was pretty funny so I took pictures of them and then promptly disciplined them for the snatching and sneaking of it all. Talk about mixed messages. 
Another Brownie Story
When Kip's Mom was in the hospital last summer, I sent a plate of brownies with Kip one night when he went up to visit. The next night Kip and I took the children up to visit and several brownies were still left. Nathan spotted the plate o' brownies sitting on the window sill. He wouldn't ask for them, that would be impolite. So here's what we heard:
Nathan: I like brownies, do you like brownies?
Nathan: Brownies sure are tasty!
Nathan: Brownies will fit in my mouth!
ohmyword- that last one- "brownies will fit in my mouth" was SO, SO funny- I can still hear him saying it.
BIG GIRL STUFF: Savvy had lots of new things last week-
Monday- First tooth.
Tuesday- First pair of shoes
Wednesday- First diaper rash
She's 7 1/2 months old now! Time sure is flying by with her...
OH- We visited a new church yesterday and I LOVED it-
FIRST- it's a family integrated church which means no nursery/Sunday School. WOOHOO! EVERYONE keeps their children in service with them. It was so awesome.
SECONDLY- There appears to be lots of stay-at-home Moms and homeschoolers.
THIRDLY- They purposely keep the church smallish- 300 members. Once they start getting over 300 members, they do a church plant elsewhere. Right now they are working on putting a church in Asheboro. I like that they are intentionally smaller- it's so much easier to build a sense of community that way.
FOURTH- people appear to discipline the way that we do.
I felt at home right away- I hope Kip will want to visit again. The service is usually 1 1/2 hours long but yesterday it ran way over- almost 2 hours. Which was way longer than Kip wants to sit in service and I agree with him. That's not the norm so maybe he'll want to go again. The kids did great sitting for that long. We only had one to take one trip out of the sanctuary for some additional motivation to sit quietly and after that we didn't have any more problems. ;)
