Church with kids....

I must say church with kids has been quite an experience over the past 6yrs. You really can't blame the little guys as staying in one spot is hard enough for me let alone them. I've gone from praying to let me and them survive the next 1/2 hour to having some really nice moments with my boys.
This week went exceptionaly well, we got out on time without too much herding and coaxing and the boys were really good. In the middle of the mass I was standing with Aidan beside me and like many times before, Aidan would call me down and ask me to explain something or would want to tell me something that he can relate too, so I bent down and this is our conversation...
Aidan was full of excitement "Hey Papa, hey Papa"
Getting ready to answer some deep religious question I said "Yes Aidan"
"I just saw the Doritos's truck go by"
"What"
"Out the window, I just saw the Doritos's Chip truck go by!"
I had a hard time keeping a straight face and realized that he got me again. Like I said, happiness can be found in the simplest of things....

At the end of the day we all have our different beliefs and traditions but that aside Church brings families, individuals and therefore communities together for a few hours a week and that can't be a bad thing.
