THE THIEF AND THE CHURCH

We are settling into a pretty good routine here. Though the house is still super cluttered. All rooms are livable, but only the playroom and the kitchen are done....except no pictures have been hung yet and that just adds to the clutter.

We decided to try a church this past Sunday, but since it was close and didn't start until 9:50 we were having some relaxing play time after breakfast. The girls were sitting on the play quilts and just being adorable. (As an aside, the girls are in massive pacifier mode lately. They love them and want them constantly. I am blaming this on teething as well) So we see Audrey looking at Brooke very intently. And then she makes her move. She lunges toward Brooke, pulls out Brooke's pacifier, and puts it in her mouth. HYSTERICAL!!! So of course I get the video camera and hope that there will be a repeat...which there was...but I don't know how to post from that camera yet, but will eventually get that posted. In the days that have followed, this trick has been repeated numerous times. However, don't feel too badly for Brooke. Last night she took Audrey's pacifier. Audrey still had the clip and a tug of war followed. Brooke was victorious.

Back to Sunday. So we get to church (early, just to make sure we have time to sign the girls in at the nursery and make it to Sunday School class on time) and get someone to take us to the nursery. The room is for 1 year and younger and there were a total of 5 kids - including our 2. Signing in consisted of putting a nametag on their backs. There was no security system in place at all. K was quite nervous. But alas, not all nurseries can be as wonderful as the one at our old church. So we get someone to take us to the Sunday School class - K found on internet - parents of young children. We get there and room is empty. The lady that brought us said that she thinks the class runs late and will start at 10 - after all it is for people with young kids and they run late. K said we have 6 mo old twins and made it fine (perhaps not a necessary comment - yet totally valid.) So we wait. A lady finally shows up and basically says that the class is not meeting anymore. K asks where are we supposed to go (apparently in a slightly abrupt tone judging by the lady's reaction). We went to the class led by the ministers to "dig a little deeper" into the sermon scripture. It actually was nice - the other 4 people had a mean age of around 70 - but not our thing. So maybe the sermon would be better. I could go on and on, but let's just say it was not. One funny thing was that the preacher would occasionally go into this little fast forward mode for a few words - K found this super funny and laughed at inappropriate times. We will not go back.

Other interesting things about Sunday: the girls tried "meat" for the first time. I use quotes because it in no way resembled any chicken that I have ever seen or tasted before. It was truly one of the most disgusting things ever. Also, D and K have actually met several neighbors who are very nice (since we go out stalking - I mean walking - every day.)

Here are just a few adorable pictures:
