Writing Notes at Church

At some point, I’m sure I will expect my kids to listen during sacrament meeting. For now, I just expect them to be quiet. Lately Elise has been keeping herself quiet by writing me notes. I absolutely love her phonetic spellings and the funny things she says. Here is her note from today:


Elise: What are we goeng to have for Dinr? :)
Me: I don’t know. What do you want?
Elise: Book Ples (She wanted me to hand the hymnbook back to her so she could write on it.) Can you Ask Dad if he can Mac Tomado Sop Ples.
Me: He said, “Sure.”
Elise: what Dos this say. (arrow to "Sure")
Me: Yes.
Elise: Yay I Hope it is with a yomy Tret
Me: What treat do you want?
Elise: Emily What treat do you want.
Emily: Chese Cake.
Me: We can’t have that tonight. It has to be in the fridge longer than that. What is your second choice?
Emily: Brownies?
Elise: Wayt Maby I shod (meaning shouldn’t) have ask Emily that can we have Smohtes to Nigt and have Rotber flots
Me: We will see.
Elise: Ples Ples Ples
Me: We’ll see.
Elise: We’ll stil see rile (really?)

Is this how you keep your kids quiet? They are always so well behaved during sacrament. I am always, ALWAYS, impressed.
I will have to teach my boys how to do this. :) Elise is so cute.

Me: This reminds me of reading some of my students' work.
You: Don't you teach 6th grade?
Me: Yep!

Sarah's good in church right now but she makes other kids be naughty because they're playing with her.
