Sundays and Suit Coats

There is no hope for my suit coat. Every Sunday I wear it hoping that the kids won't leave slobber, cracker crumbs, or a combination of the two on my suit. Every week I'm proven wrong. Why do I continue to wear it? I'm faced with the struggle of giving up a habit with which I am comfortable and that I feel is appropriate for someone my age at church for something that would be more practical and honestly more comfortable physically. I always come down on the side of wearing the coat. Being an Eagle Scout, I've started to develop a solution to the problem: designate a "Sunday suit" (i.e. the same suit for every Sunday) and steal wet wipes from the diaper bag throughout the day to wipe of the child residue. So far it works, though I inevitably find out later that I missed some spots. I may invest in dry cleaning sheets. Since our youngest is one, and we'll probably have more, I'll probably get my dollar's worth.
