Bedtime prayers

When you have little kids it's really hard to get a good bedtime prayer in. For example, last night, we were saying prayers and Trey really felt like it was his turn. However, he refused any help from me. So his prayer went something like this:

"Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the house, thank you for our family, thank you for Daddy, thank you for our house, thank you for nomen (snowmen)"...at which point Emma started laughing uncontrollably. Then Trey started laughing and I'm trying not to laugh so we can get through this and I tried to help Trey finish. Of course he was still refusing my help so I told him to go ahead. When he would start again, instead of just finishing the prayer he would start "Thank you for the house" which would send Emma into bigger hysterics and this encouraged Trey to laugh and do it again. After about 3 minutes of this we finally got the prayer finished and everyone in bed. Whew!

We made it through another day!
