A little mustard goes a long way

Last Sunday, when we got to church, Grandpa Que put Van on his lap.

Zeb sits on the stand and usually, I run around like crazy to get primary organized and play a few prelude hymns before the meeting starts.

Meanwhile, Van makes a sound of a trumpet as Grandpa Que is giving him a horsey ride on his knee. Grandpa chuckles and thinks nothing of it. As I go to hand Grandpa a bottle of milk for the baby, a mustard colored spot on the carpet caught my eye. As I slowly raise my sight, I see Grandpa's slacks completely drizzled with mustard. Then I see that the mustard was on Van's shoe and on his pants. Instantly, I gasp and realize the horsey ride caused an explosion from a few squirts of mustard.

I then realized this was the only time I didn't bring an extra outfit. I look in the bag for some diapers and see that I was totally OUT. I took a deep breath and decided 'I'm going home just for a change of clothes!' Even though it's a 20 min. drive both ways, it was worth it.

I couldn't believe how prepared I was for church and how unprepared I was for my son.

LESSON LEARNED: Always keep the diaper bag fully loaded!

Oh no! I think that is my worst fear- a blow out at church because we, like you, live at least 20 minutes from the building and Jayson is also on the stand- so I am on my own.

We are sure sad that we are going to miss little Van's blessing. What are your plans for Christmas? Will you pass through Utah at all? I would love to meet your little guy.

you know what's crazy is that even when your second child is almost 8 months old...you still do the same thing.
this sunday consisted of a complete blowout by serelle, so we went straight home to take everything off, wash her, and put on clean clothes, as i was walking back into church i got a phone call from julie saying that lili had been excused from nursery because she had a poopy diaper (she's mostly potty trained but we put the diaper on just in case) so i look in the diaper bag for lili's diaper, and there is none. so she got to wear tights only for the rest of the day.
isn't motherhood the best!?!?
