When I Go to Church

Not much has been happening around here lately, but here are a few Matthew and Anna-isms I've been collecting.  Several of them are about church so I thought I'd share a few getting ready for church pictures from last week.  I always think it's a miracle when we get out the door (and all of us dressed) on time...although it's a lot easier now that our church has changed to 1pm.  Anyway, here are Matthew and I almost ready for church.  He has been rebelling against wearing a tie for a few weeks, which is weird 'cause he used to ask to wear them and insisted I buy some for him.  He decided he would wear one this week though.  :)

Anna isn't always cooperative about church preparation, but we get there eventually.  Here are some of her words of wisdom this week...

Me:  Do you like your Primary class?
Anna:  I absolutely DO love it.

Anna at a birthday party
Party dad:  What does your daddy do for work?
Anna:  My daddy goes to work with a suitcase (sad but true a lot of the time these days)

 Matthew again...in his tie

Scott (in primary class):  Can anyone read this? [on the board it said "Physical Body"]
Matthew (eagerly):  Population Body!  (so close)

Matthew (still in his primary class):  I can read 'cause my mom says I can

 Grant had nothing to say...he was looking good though!

 Here's Anna eating a last minute cheese stick before church...and a few more of her thoughts...

Anna's report about her primary teacher on Sunday:  [My primary teacher] was sick today and her tummy didn't feel good and she was bad tempered and she feels sorry, so we need to bring her some salties (Saltines) to help her feel better.
Matthew and Anna then proceeded to fill a bag will Saltines and write notes to her to help her feel better...I thought it was sweet.

While reading the Book Christmas in the Barn by Margaret Wise Brown
Anna: NO!  This book is wrong 'cause there was no snow where baby Jesus lived.**

**I actually agree with her on this one and dislike that book for that reason...among others.
