When my twins were in Kindergarten there was a little boy in their class that wore a suit to school everyday (including tie). His parents couldn't get him to wear anything else. As we got ready for church today and had the usual problems with my son, "my shirt is itchy"...."I don't want to wear a tie"...."I don't want to tuck my shirt in"..."I look stupid". I wonder why we have to have this fight every week? I try and be kind and even let him wear his new green Nike socks. It always ends the same, him dressed, tie on and shirt tucked in. Why does he have to disrupt every Sunday morning when he knows we will win? I have never given in. I know I am not the only one with Sunday morning issues, but I always hope it won't happen. Maybe it is just the adversary working on us, but I am tired of it. If only Nike would make Church clothing!
Even though the morning was hard, we had a great day at church. We had Stake Conference and it was very spiritual. I loved hearing about our friend Linda's conversion to the church, she said she was searching for something and said a prayer. Within one hour two sister missionaries knocked on her door. That is so cool. If you are searching for something check out

I am sooooo glad that my boys aren't complaining as bad as they used to about this. My compromise is that if they wear a sweater over their shirt then they don't have to wear a tie and that keeps them pretty happy. But the Nike idea is fantastic! I love your blog. :)
