Okay people, I am a little sad that nothing has been published. No sharing of the activities, no sharing of wonderful prayers from the little babies, nothing. :( So I shall share, once again.
I love it when little kids pray and start to understand concepts. I work in the crawlers, so I don't get to see much of that. But, I do have 2 toddlers in my house. So the other night when we asked Isaiah what he wanted to pray for, he listed off his friends. Well this is a normal happening. So we prayed and Isaiah said, "Dear Lord thank you for this day and thank you for our friends. And thank you for the combine." Now if you know anything about my kids, this is a big deal. They just loved it when we went and visited on the farm and got to ride the tractors and combine and trucks. I just thought it was great that he remembered (almost a whole year later we talk about it.) and that he prayed for it. At first, I thought it was silly, but it's really not all that silly. If we did not have great and wonderful combines, we would not have any wheat, corn, and other grain products which make up a majority of our food and help feed the livestock that we eat also. So, thank you Lord for the combines!
So now, please post the silliest/wonderful prayer you've heard from children in your ministry or home!

Well, we did have one 5th grader ask for prayer because his big brother was starting tuba! That was pretty funny, especially because he was really serious.
Also, 2 weeks ago, I passed out a wordsearch for the kids to do. Promptly, one of the boys (and a good little boy too!) found a "dirty word" right in the middle of it. "Hey! They put a dirty word in this!" Before I could shush him, there was a large group of 4th/5th graders rushing to his paper to see the 'dirty word'. Yikes. I played it off with a "it wasn't on purpose! These things happen... uhhh.. let's say our bible verse again!"
Easter was funny because one little boy brought to children's worship a small m-n-m shaped like an egg. He carried it in on accident. He was worried because he shouldn't have food with him. I told him to pop it in his mouth and then it would be gone. He thought I was trying to trick him because you're not allowed to eat during children's worship. (Geesh! It was one m-n-m!) So, he put it in his pocket. I guess he got it out again, because he dropped it. We couldn't figure out where it rolled, until communion time.... when my son, Justin, stood up. It looked like he had laid an egg. We tried not to laugh, but it was really funny because he stood up and there was a little tiny blue egg on the floor. He had no idea it was there until he stood. Then he couldn't stop laughing because he realized it looked like he laid an egg as well.
Aha, so that's why everyone was laughing during communion time in Children's Worship. I thought my hair looked funny or something! In all honesty, I didn't even notice, but funny.

No Jena, it definitely wasn't your hair, it was my son's egg-laying ability.
It probably wasn't too disruptive, even though it was really funny and seemed disruptive to me... All week we teased him about it.
"Hey Justin! I need some eggs for breakfast -- got any?!" The really funny thing is that he's our 'bird boy', raising ducks, chickens, finches, etc. I guess he just takes it all a little too far.
