I sometimes think that the purpose behind having children is to constantly remind us of the things we AREN'T doing right in our lives. Like today. There are days in which I just want to put food on the table and just have my family eat. Skip the prayer- everything. I know. I'm bad. It's just that sometimes, love them like I do, Kennedy's prayers can be so long... so today, as I put lunch on the table for Kennedy and Pieper and I'm cleaning up the mess, I hear Kennedy starting in on her prayer (see... she's reminding ME of what I'm NOT doing!). Pieper then starts in on "shushing" her. Pieper is going, "SIS, SHHHHHH." She says this about a half dozen times or so before Kennedy stops, looks directly in her eyes and says, "PIEPIE, be quiet, I'm talking like Jesus!!!"
Kids. They're such good examples.

Mitchell says the FASTEST prayers ever and it's quite annoying, but I can see where you're coming from with the lengthy ones too! :) Aren't kiddos great though?
No more long prayers with my kids. They give the teen version now: fast and mumbled.
Cute. My daughter's LOOOONG prayers always happen right before bedtime. Go fig.
