Holy Wars
Ever since Graham has started saying prayers in our house we've been having quite a bit of conflict at prayer time. I usually have a good rotation going to everyone gets a fair amount of turns saying the prayer but lots of times I forget and multiple children end up fighting about who gets to say it. Actually more often than not Graham wants to say the prayer and even if someone else is saying it he just goes ahead and says on of his own anyway. Devin does the same thing quite often too and I used to try and stop it but that ended up in a less than reverent environment for a prayer. So tonight I just decided that we'll send both prayers up and have our food be doubly blessed. I have no idea if this is the right way to handle it, most likely not, but I just didn't have the energy to fight it tonight. Its good that they want to say prayers right? Just not the fighting about it part. At least I've won half the battle.

Ya, it can't be such a bad thing if your kids are fighting over who GETS to pray and not who HAS to. Plus more prayers can't hurt right?
You're an awesome Mom.
