Jack and the Sacrament just don't mix...

I know that all parents have dealt with their share of kids temper tantrums during church meetings, but have any of you had to pick pretzel sticks and mini marshmallows out of the hair of the elderly woman in front of you? Well, that is exactly what happened to us when our sweet little Jack threw a fit during the passing of the sacrament on Sunday. His arms wailed about with such force that his ziploc baggie full of snacks broke open and like a volcano, literally erupted. Pretzels and marshmallows flew so far that people 2 and 3 rows ahead, and behind us, were picking them up. Many people commented on the irony that it just happened to be fast Sunday, and as their tummies were grumbling, food was falling in their laps. To make matters worse, I couldn't get Dakota to stop laughing (out loud). Ah, the joy of parenthood!

Well, just what did you do to sweet little Jack to make him lose control?

Don't worry about it-Its the moments like that that make church worth going to.

I seriously just laughed out loud reading this post, and no one is awake for me to share it with! This is a great story, a must to write a journal entry!
