This was us 15 minutes before time to go to church.
Everyone was dressed, happy, ready to go. 
I made the mistake of mentally congratulating myself on how "together" we were for once. Just then, I got an e-mail asking for help. I spent 20 minutes trying to find someone else who could help, but it didn't work out. Things went downhill from there.- I dropped off David and the kids at Church, upon which David realized he was still wearing his slippers instead of his Sunday shoes.
- What could be worse? There was a hole in the toe of one of his socks.
- What could be worse? He was playing the organ that day in church and would have to go up in front of everyone.
- What could be worse? He was also singing with the choir that day.
- What could be worse? We were both assigned to speak.
- What could be worse? I got back to church five minutes late and had to march in with David's huge shoes in hand.
- What could be worse? My family was sitting on the very front row.
- What could be worse? Just as I stood up to speak, we discovered that Baylie had peed clear through her dress and onto the bench.
What could be worse? Actually, nothing, things got a little better after that.

Please don't feel bad. We were blessing Kiera today in Irmo Ward and went through just about as much chaos, only I also had to coordinate the arrival of 30 family members. Let me also say that at least half of them were non-lds and that one couple had just recently lost thier son. Yours and Bro. Bachelor's talks were perfect! Everyone teared up. And it got us a LOT of really good questions about the Plan of Salvation. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou both for your wonderful words of inspiration today!
how do you have time to blog so often?
HATE situations like that... but you survived! And you children are adorable!
@ Asmus Clan - thanks so much! I needed to hear that.
@ Tiffani - my house is a mess and my children run around naked and dirty. NOT! If you remember, I've always been able to do five things at once.
@ Wendler Fam - we did survive and it ended up being a great Sunday.
the morning was crazy but those are the days that you remember and laugh.
Gotta love days like that. I'm glad it ended up being a good day.
Thanks for making me laugh today! That's hilarious :-). I thought about you guys a lot today...I'm loving YWs more and more every day :-).
hahahahaha, Kristin!!!!! Oh my heck. I love it! Kids and husbands make life absolutely divine.
Stressful! I imagine you handled it with poise and grace. Clayton says "hi" too!
Classic! I love your family! I love that David went to church in his slippers- sounds like something I'd do. Actually, just a few months ago when I was teaching jr. high school I accidently wore 2 different shoes to school. And my students totally called me out on it.And I had to wear them all day long... Wish I could've had someone come to my rescue!
So sorry but I am laughing hysterically!!!! So cleverly written and DARN that email!! Stop checking, will yah?! JK. You were sweet to figure things out, serve and go forward with faith!!
ps did I mention when we finalized for Samuel I forgot my shoes and only had slippers to wear to court? Yeah. Classic.
Oh my gosh that is so funnnnny! And I love that you both still made it through church despite setback after setback. Good job!
