Just Me and the Neilson Boys
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's learning to dance in the rain

Reverence is more than just quietly sitting…

However it doesn’t include:

playing human dominos with your brothers

fighting over who gets to entertain or hold the baby

needing to use the restroom/leave to blow your nose 3 times during sacrament meeting

discussion about the bread, who needs it, whether or not Lincoln needs it (the boys are concerned for fairness for all)

fighting over who gets to entertain/hold the baby

pinching all the skin off your mothers neck while periodically squealing

talking to the neighbors in front of you

showing off for the neighbors behind you

fighting over who gets to entertain/hold the baby

talking loudly (we have no quiet voice!)

crying clear through singing time in primary because you are so tired and your mom is too busy playing the piano to hold you.

did I mention fighting over who gets to entertain/hold the baby

 

And all of that in one trip to church……

Oh and don’t worry, they were all involved.  I don’t just have one naughty child.
