Double Melt-Down

We should have known that after taking the kids to the beach and returning late that night would take it's toll on our kids, one of whom was sun-burned. It happened during church. The older kids were tired and grumpy and a fight ensued. I took our crying daughter out into the foyer until she calmed down. As we walked back in, our son was crying and my wife was trying to carry the baby and nudge our son out to the foyer. So, we all went out of the chapel and into an empty classroom where the kids calmed down, and my wife and I burst into laughter--that is what we do when we are powerless to do anything else. Several people commented between classes, checking if everything was all right or teasing us a little. At some point I knew we would be that family, you know, the one with the noisy kids at church. Today was our day.
