Church yesterday was entertaining, to say the least....
The first 'act' was when Brecken made a statement about his 'woo'. I had Aaron take him out for a little while to make sure he didn't continue…thank GOODNESS I didn’t teach him ‘penis’! I’m not sure if anyone heard that….probably just seemed loud to me.
The second 'act' came during children’s time, Brecken picked his nose & ate it while the video was on him. He was evidently feeling very comfortable because he proceeded to wave at the camera. The lady was talking about food during children’s time & Brecken piped up & said, my brother plays with his food.
The third 'act' was the climax of the performance. After children’s time, during a song, Brecken & Leighton got out in the aisle….and DASHED to the front of the church. Aaron caught Leighton & scooped him up. Brecken, on the other hand, ran up behind the altar railing AND ran back & forth, giggling, as Aaron tried to catch him. I think Aaron ran back and forth a couple times before I got him trapped and we got him up over the altar…and out the door into the nursery. Aaron & I weren't sure whether we wanted to return to the sanctuary or not...but we finally did after leaving the boys in the nursery. Boy howdy, the Wertenbergers sure did perform today!
After communion, a very sweet lady stopped & whispered in my ear, "Your boys sure did make my day today. They are precious." SHE made my day by whispering that to me :) Needless to say, she enjoyed the performance, as I’m sure many others did, based on the smirks we got as people returned to their seats after receiving communion.
Boys will be boys...and I pray we don't have a repeat performance!

Oh Tiffany- this cracked me up! I thank the dear Lord above each Sunday for nursery and children's church! They are saviors- literally!
Boys will be boys! I was sad I missed it. You know my boys would have joined in :)
Eli and Avery have had many similar church moments. I've done the ineffective-walk-chase-dance on our altar/stage with Eli before. Eli has grown into the Children's Moment, and now sits and listens, so you have that to look forward to in the coming months. Eli still manages to show up to the Children's Moment from the nursery every Sunday without shoes or socks, looking like Huck Finn. Sigh. Aren't they great?
