Sunday Morning

We are still working on a routine for our Sunday mornings now that we have church at 11:00. When it was 9:00 church, we'd get up and rush to get ready. With a few extra hours to spare, this is what goes on in our home:

Breakfast--a nice one like scrambled eggs, french toast, or pancakes. The challenge is to always remember to pull the girls' hair back out of their faces so they don't get food in their hair. Rhett did Summer's ponytail today. I about died when I saw it, and I made sure she knew it was only for breakfast and play time, and not for church.

Then we put Pyper down for a nap, hoping she'll take one before church. Sometimes she does, sometimes she doesn't and just ends up sitting in her crib playing and chatting away. While she "naps," we practice conflict management over things like the purple slippers with the sparkles or the pink baby doll, or whatever seems popular in the moment.

The girls play nicely for a little bit, while Rhett and I get ready. Here they are dancing to Primary songs.

In between play and other things, they get washed up for church. Sometimes they get individual baths, like today, and other times, they get community washings (like in this picture that wasn't taken today). 

And finally, about 10:00ish, we make sure everyone is starting to get ready. No matter how hard we try, it always seems that we are heading out the door too close to 11:00. 

But it's okay. We are just glad we made it!
