We need to get these kids to church more often

This afternoon we braved the clouds and spent the afternoon out at the pool. While it was cloudier than we would have liked we had bursts of sun that were very pleasant. Around 4 p.m. Lincoln fired up the grill and we had a nice little cook out on the pool deck.

Jake: Let's do that thing where we look at the plates.

Me: What?

Jake: The thing where we look at the plates.

(everyone looks at Jake like he's crazy)

Link: Do you mean say grace?

Jake: Yeah.

(Tracy, Cheryl, Lincoln and I all turn our heads away to hide our laughter)

Tracy: Obviously you need to get your child to church more often......just as much as I do.

Jake: Let's all hold hands.

To be fair, in my family when we say grace we don't hold hands.......
