Riley's antics

Yesterday our sacrament meeting was pretty typical. Derek and Riley passed the sacrament and then sat down with us for the rest of the meeting. The speakers came and went and then it was time for the closing song. The hymn we started to sing was, "Who's on the Lord's side?" I think Riley was inspired by his weekend canoeing trip where he saw everything from bald eagles, rattlesnakes, and owls because when it came time to sing the word "Who?" Riley decided to grace everyone with an owl sound--throughout the whole hymn. I think it was pointless to expect him to obey our "stop it" command when we are fighting to keep a straight face. I hope the Lord will forgive our irreverence. It's so hard to keep a reverent facade when one of your kids is acting up and you actually think it is funny too. I guess you had to be there, but trust me.... we were giggling along with the family in the pew behind us. I hope no one noticed my eyes watering. After the closing prayer I told Kevin, "That's something you would have done."
