Setting:
Getting ready for family prayer.
General Demeanor:
Impatience.
Volunteers for Prayer:
All the children at once. ("I'll say it!" "No, I'LL say it---we don't have time for Dad's prayers tonight!")
Attendance:
Everyone but Kristen--she's at Cally's house.
Sentiments about Kristen:
Ryan: "Where's Kristen?"
Elizabeth: "At Cally's."
Ryan (exasperated and feeling unfairness coming on): "DOES SHE GET TO SLEEP OVER THERE TONIGHT?"
Elizabeth: "No."
Ryan: "G.O.O.D.!!!!"
We're so happy for each other's successes in this family!!
Possible idea for next post:
My discussion with Michael last night about how Matthew and I are TOTALLY unaware of how dysfunctional our family is.
Parenting is SOOOO much more fun than I imagined it to be!!!

So glad the good times abound for you. In our family everyone is so happy for family prayer time. Eyes are closed, heads are bowed, arms are folded and ne'er a mean word is said. Because of my over abounding generousity, I will be happy to give your family tips on how to be more religious. Okay? Okay!
Do you remember how we would all let out a groan when it was mom's turn to pray because they were long? Mathew is your family's Marlene! :)
Laughing really hard!
Yeah, when the kids think they are smarter than us it all goes to pot! LOL
Well, I am my families 'Marlene' around here. My kids actually have timed my prayers! Yeah, Mom, Mathew and I can go prayer together and appreciate each others gift of prayer gab!
Why does he think you're a disfunctional family?
why does ryan always have a breakdown when i get to sleep over at somebodys house. or if i go to bed 1 SECOND later than him. dosnt he realize that i am 2 YEARS older than him, not 2 seconds older than him???!!!!
Thankas for finally updating!
oh yeah, kristina, my dads record i 3 minutes and 42 seconds!
Dejavu, same thing happens at our house too. Maybe we're all dysfunctional:0)
