Learning to Pray

We had a very full day today, went swimming with the big girls then they went to their friend Erin's to play this afternoon, then went to Walmart with me which they love to do for some reason. We got home late so we hurried through our bedtime routine, Lily asked me to read them their Bible story. I told them they could take their Bible's to church with them in the morning. Lacy then showed me some princess book she said she wanted to take to church. I told Lacy that we only take our Bible's to church, not princess books. She asked why, and I said it's because our Bible helps us pray. She said, "But Mommy, I don't know how to pray." I told her when you pray you're just talking to God and Mommy prays ALL day long to be a good Mommy, for lots of patience, to be a good wife to Daddy, really, ALL day long.
Then, Lily pipes in and says I want to pray. I said, go ahead.
"Please God, can we please go to Erin's house again tomorrow?" Not exactly what I had in mind but I did get my point across.
