Back to St. Joe's we go!

So as many of you know, St. Joseph's Parish is the source of many a blog entry from Mad Molly and this week is of no exception! At our church on Sunday they were doing a special mass to bless all the children who had been baptized in the parish during the past year, and our very own Roaming Gnome would be one of those special children! Now due to his napping schedule wild man Will (a.ka. Roaming Gnome) usually does not attend service on Sundays so we thought this was as good a time as any for him to make his debute for the first time in many moons. Sunday rolls around and off the we go to good old St. Joe's. Mad Molly was super excited that the entire family was in church and that it was filled with many other children, so needless to say she was indeed very fidgety! Her view of the alter, which usually keeps her pretty entertained and mildly interested was obstructed which left her to entertain herself.  During the sermon, she kept climbing on my lap asking me all sorts of questions...the conversation went like this:
Mad Molly: "Momma, what are you doing?"
Mad Mommy: "Listening to Father Al" (calmly)
Mad Molly: "oh"..."Momma, what are you doing?"
Mad Mommy: "LIstening to Father Al!" (in a firm whisper I could muster)
Mad Molly: "oh"..pause, pause...."Momma, what are you doing?"
Mad Mommy: "LISTENing to Father Al!!!" (in the strongest whisper I could muster)
Mad Molly: "oh"....pause, pause, pause, fidget, fidget..."Momma, what are you doing?"
Mad Mommy: "LISTENING to Father AL!!!!!!, now sit still" (threw gritted teeth in a strong whisper)
Mad Molly: "Oh" looking around the pew, poking the roaming gnome, starting to reach over the pew behind her
Mad Mommy: "MOLLY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" (in the firm, yet quiet strong mom voice)
Mad Molly: "listening to GOD!" (calm as can be)

God help me now!
