Can I just say that I LOVE 9:00 am church?? We had the 1-4 schedule last year and the kids in primary were SO squirrelly and our mornings always seemed so rushed and unproductive. Then we would get home and it was dark and time to make dinner (after choir practice got out at 5:00) and go to bed.
Now it is 1:25, we are done with church, the kitchen is clean, the potatoes are in the oven for dinner tonight... which is the OTHER reason I love 9:00 am church. Growing up we always had a big Sunday night meal -- usually a roasted whole chicken with potatoes and gravy and corn. Mmmm... But when you get home at 5:00 your only options are crockpot meals (which I get tired of) or spaghetti, or pancakes and eggs. Yum. My favorite.
But TODAY I have all day to cook. We are having the missionaries over and I am taking advantage of their company to make something I don't normally make anymore -- full fat, yummy, bad for you food. We are having Marlboro Man Sandwiches, Twice Baked Potato Casserole (Cube six baked potatoes - place 1/2 in a 9x13 pan - cover with sourcream, cheese, crumbled bacon, and green onions, then make another layer. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes), Salad (eh, I needed something healthy on the plate), and Blackberry Cobbler (the blackberries were on sale and I couldn't resist making it because it is so easy and so TOTALLY delish. I am already looking forward to summer when the bushes in our backyard overflow with fresh wild berries.
Can you tell that Sunday is my cheat day this week? If I am going to cheat, I am going to enjoy it. And enjoy it, I will.

Amen. We were just talking about how we love 9am church too, we were even on time:) And can we come over for MM sandwiches?? Those have become a family favorite at our house. Kelly enjoyed getting pointers on GH3 from Brian in nursery today:)
I'm totally with you on loving the morning church! I even snuck in a two hour nap this afternoon!
I have been looking forward to 9am church all year! Olivia spent the entire two hours in nursery and I, for once, attended both of my meetings after sacrament. I think that this is going to be a wonderful year!
wow. Can I come over for dinner too? Or maybe just graze on some of your left-overs tomorrow (if there are any left-overs). That potato casserole sounds sooo good. I'm sure my Idaho man would love it.
Can I just say how much I love 11:30 church. I really love it. We had 9 and it is just a little too early for me. I feel like I can still kind or relax in the morning now. Love it. I would perfer 9 am to 1 though anyday. Ok now I want those sandwhiches AND potato's! YUM!~!!!
Yum. I'll have to look through some of those recipes. And hooray for 9:oo church, it's my favorite!
ARGGHHH, and we are at the 1:00pm church now! I hate it so much! It is such a bust. Congrats on the early schedule and the time to prepare such delicacies. When can we come to dinner! ;)
