We were on time though...

So this weekend I have been staying at my sister's house while her and her husband are away for their romatic tree cutting trip. It's always interesting and never dull around these kids. Last night we had a great night at my other sister's house. Her neighborhood does an annual tree lighting party and it just happens to be right outside her house. So we went early and had a pizza party for dinner and then BUNDLED up to head on out there. It was about 20 degrees out with the windchill making it feel around 8 degrees. Yup it was COLD!! Any who, the kids had a blast because there was a Santa there and hay rides and hot chocolate.
So today we went to church. It was especially important to go today because Lisa's family was doing the lighting of the first Advent Candle. They did awesome and they all looked adorable! So I was feeling real confident and good about myself because I got all four of us (Me, Little John, Matt and Thomas) to church with time to spare. (Amy is NEVER on time for church! Sorry Amy.) So we're sitting there, and in the pew behind us I hear Lisa and Donald start laughing. Then I realize they're laughing at Matt and Me. Then I realized WHAT they were laughing at...............Matt had two of the same shoe on. Two left feet of the same shoe. One was his and one was his brother's. They found it so amusing that they even took a picture of it. Probably to show my other sister! Ha!
BUT, we were on time :)
