Yes, you heard me correctly. It was a doll, thrown by my child that went flying through the air during sacrament meeting and landed squarely on "Brother Scowler's" head. I think I might have laughed if "Brother Scowler" would have so much as smirked...but no, he scowled as if he wanted to skin Walker--and yes, it was sweet little Walker that did the throwing! And so, instead of laughing, I gave all children on my bench STRICT commands to not move a muscle...shallow breathing only. We couldn't afford to anger our pew neighbor any further.
Thankfully, the doll was soft and squishy--no chance for injury...unlike the metal car that he threw a couple months ago. 
Does he look like a delinquent? If he weren't so cute I would probably be more stern!
And now, since I have convinced you all that I am such a great parent, I thought I would share my newest "favoritest" thing...a parenting book! Maybe I should read it more carefully, and then, maybe my kid wouldn't be huckin' things across the chapel during meetings! (after would be more acceptable.) Seriously, this book is amazing and I wish I were smart enough to memorize it...and then maybe our church meetings would be a little smoother...today was a little rough.

Good arm Walker. Too bad Mr. Scowler was a grump though. Some people have no sense of humor.
Oh, I love that story and can totally relate...Today I was with the older kids alone during Sacrament and you'd think they would talk quietly and behave but I am sure they were the LOUDEST of any kids in the overflow. Good thing Landon was at home sleeping or he would have been throwing things with Walker and having a good ol' time.
ooooooh...I'm so sad I missed that. I was home with the boogery nosed monster (Max). I can't wait to find out who Mr. Scowler is!
At least it wasn't the speaker! Ya, I've had that happen. It was the metal car.
Come sit behind us, I promise that we'll be nice if Walker beans us with his doll. :)
that is too funny - (when you're not the mom!!!
What a crazy hour that must have been! Bet your laughing now!! I'll have to check out that book!
I'm going to have to admit that he is pretty cute. And I think that you are following the book well. It sounds as though Walker was well-armed :-) Sorry that was almost too corny, but couldn't resist!
