Reverent girls


This is funny now, but I was quite frustrated about 30 minutes ago. My girls are generally fine during Sacrament meeting, but they sometimes (I wont mention names) aren't so reverent during Primary. All three have become bad about running in the building, or if Chris and I stop to talk with someone, the girls may take off and then we have to go find them. Well, lets just say that behavior is unacceptable to me. I think its disrespectful to run in the church. Krista gave me this fantastic idea that was effective for her. Basically, if the girls decide not to be reverent at church, they get to come home and practice. So, today Chris and I brought the girls home after looking for Morgan for 10 minutes in the building, and sat them down and explained the situation to them. I think they got the point and were properly scolded because they have been sitting for a good 10 minutes now and I haven't heard a sound from them.

I enlarged the picture. Haley's face made me LOL. It was as if she was looking me in the eye. I have a feeling if I was available, she would have given me a piece of her mind. SO FUNNY! I hope it works for you as well as it has worked for me.
