I had a fun adventure at church today. Lance had to work (hopefully the last Sunday until he is out of school!) and I was struggling in to church with my arms full of Relief Society stuff, diaper bag and scriptures. I was holding the door open for Elise, when Eric ran past and pulled the fire alarm! Church hadn't started yet, but everyone came out of the chapel to see if there was a fire -- nope there was just an Eric. The lights were flashing and the horn was honking for 10 minutes... until the police department and fire department showed up!!!! The firemen were very kind, but I was SO embarrassed!
My embarassment increased when I found out that our Stake President was there (the 1st time I had ever seen the man) and we had a bunch of visitors because they reorganized the bishopric!
Oh well, kids will be kids... but next week, Eric is wearing a leash to church!
Miss you ! Love you! Love, The Craigs!

That's happened at our church a few times. I don't think the fire department across the street even responds to the false alarms any more. Chris N
I'd feel really bad for you if I wasn't laughing so hysterically. I'm so sorry, I should be more sympathetic. Hopefully, the leaders will tape up or cover the fire alarms before Eric goes back to church! What a great story. Maybe Eric could wear gloves or a straight jacket. We love you guys! Thanks for sharing a funny story.
This is my third try at sending this--I forgot to sign in, oh my!
Thanks, Mary, for the entertaining story--we're still chuckling. How come they put those levers (or whatever) so low? How about putting a cover over them or raising them?---good idea!
Keep up the good work.
love you muchly,
Grm and Grmp N.
Can I say that I laughed hysterically when Josh told me about that? And your retelling of the story is even better! Gotta love those little devils!
