We've been played!

It's been a crazy day~ it started with church. We all got up early, an extra hour in fact, and was actually in church on time, something we haven't done in months! It was all good until the collection plate came around and Carlea dropped it on the floor spilling out all the envelopes and money. Under the pews, under the kneelers, etc...kind of embarrassing. Luckily the priest likes us so he pretty patient with the kids. Carlea loves Father Scott and is always writing him letters and making him cards. During communion she walked up holding her little sister's hand (so cute) then saw Father Scott and ran back to her seat to get her letter for him, but couldn't find it so ran back up front and couldn't find us, then started yelling for us...it was...at best... comical. I was annoyed! And Maysie only talks in church. She's 2 and doesn't really make any noise whatsoever except in church. Then she finds her voice. It's a circus. Thank God people accept us there.

It was about 15 minutes before dinner and Carlea approached me and asked for a blueberry muffin. I told her "Sorry Carlea, it's almost dinner and I don't want to ruin your appetite." She then disappeared for a minute and came back and said "well, Daddy said he would give me one if you said it was ok." I replied, "really, Dad said that?, Well, I guess if he's ok with it, it's ok with me." And off she ran. Later at dinner, I asked Scott why he would let her have a muffin right before dinner and it was then that we figured out we had been played~ after he said no initially, she went back and told him that I said it was ok if it was ok with him. PLAYED! By a three year old! I can only imagine it's going to get worse. When we asked her about it, her only reply was Yum! (with a smirk)

Whew, what a day! Happy daylight savings time!
