Church marathon

Today our church small group volunteered to set up for the worship service, which is quite an undertaking because our church meets in a YMCA gym. We had to arrive at 8 a.m., two hours early, to unload and set up everything from chairs to the sound system. Luckily the YMCA gym is a great place for kids, and Josh and Molly made it one piece through set up and the service.

Here are Josh and some buddies playing on the suspended track over the gym:
If I could just get one of these suspended tracks installed in my house, we'd never had a problem getting Josh to nap.
We brought Molly's push toy for entertainment, but unfortunately forgot to put it back in the car during church. It caused a bit of a distraction near the end of the service when another little kid found it parked in the corner and started pushing it around the gym.
We'll also take a moment here to mourn Molly's cute outfit, which she drew on with a Sharpie she found on the name tag table before church. If anyone knows how to get permanent marker out of clothes, please send me your tips!
