Dunn's from the pew

I've logged on to my blog many times since the last post thinking I had a bright idea of what I wanted to write about. But then I would change my mind. Or just all the sudden decide I didn't want to say anything. Shocking, I know. But anyway, I wanted to tell you about our church experience yesterday during worship service. You know it's always a treat when the Dunn's are involved.
I sit down between the two boys. No way they are sitting beside each other.
Kid's bulletins are in each kids' hands, so I pass out the crayons.
A fight breaks out because Avery got the red one.
She decides to share without being asked to. (I pick my mouth up off the floor at this time)
Music starts.
Walker has to potty. Then of course that means Brody has to also.
They come back.
Choir starts singing "Mountain Mover".
Walker starts singing every word to the song. What the?
He's swaying back and forth.
I ask where he learned that song. "Tucker has it."
He continues to sing almost as loud as he can.
His head is now bobbing.
I tell him to knock it back a notch or six.
He doesn't listen to me. And I think, "you know, that's ok. He is worshipping. Let him do what he wants."
Song is over.
Offertory song is next. Brody is mad because he didn't get to pass the plate to me.
He pouts.
He gets over it.
I constantly hear pages flipping. That would be my two sons looking through the hymnals.
Loud thump. That would be the hymnal falling on the floor.
Preaching.
Loud thump. hymnal again.
Loud thump. You guessed it. It gets taken away this time.
Loud thump. That would be me dropping my Bible. Good job.
I take my Bible away from me.
I feel a tug on my hair. I look at Walker and notice he is chewing on my hair. Really son?
I wipe the spit off my hair.
Brody passes the red crayon back to Avery.
She breaks it..."on accident".
"Is it time yet?"
"No. Almost'
"What about now?"
"Hush"
And then finally....the invitation. It was music to my ears and probably to everyone else around us. :)
Gotta love the "Dunn's from the pew" stories. Hope you all have a blessed week! Maybe it won't be so long between now and the next post!
