Loving it!

You may think that I am totally crazy, BUT, I LOVE 1:00 CHURCH!!!  That's right, it's been so nice the last couple of weeks.  We switched a few weeks ago and we have really enjoyed the change after being at 9 am church for a few years.  I love it for the following reasons:
1. My kids love to sleep in....that's right...kids woke up at 8:15 this morning.  They are definately not morning girls!
2. We love to sleep in on the weekends!
3. We can have a nice breakfast (except for today on fast sunday) together as a family.
4. One morning that isn't so rushed!
5. Saturday nights aren't quite as pressured to get home and get bathes done for all the kids before bed, they can do it in the morning now!
6. Brooklyn dosen't take a nap any more, so it really dosen't affect us.  She was a struggle when church was at 9 am.
7. I'm not in the nursery anymore so I don't have to deal with nap deprived kids.
8. I can get dinner ready in the morning as much as possible and then when we get home finish it up and it dosen't feel like I've been in the kitchen as much since it's broken up more.  We always like a nice Sunday dinner as a family (and many times we enjoy having company for dinner).  I enjoy the dinner more this way.
9. After church, there is dinner, family time, then bed time and we're done for the day...it's been perfect!
10. We can finally make it to church on time (well, I have to say that we haven't perfected this yet, but if I keep thinking it, it will happen). 

I do miss my afternoon naps, but my kids are done with their naps, so I guess that phaze in my life is over for now....until I have teenagers.

For now.....Loving this 1 pm church!

I am with you 100 percent... not a fan of 9:00 church! I'm pretty sure I would hate it even if I had kids.
