For Family Home Evening every Monday night we have an activity after a lesson. The activities have been pretty physical: pillow fights, pillow wrestling, try-to-push-your-opponent-off-the-rug, etc. They're always a big hit. This time we tried balance activities. Like try-to-push-your-opponent-off-the-beam. Ephraim always wins. Even when we're all against him. Weight matters, I guess.
The first weekend in April was General Conference. It's always a challenge for us to make all the sessions since they're at 5 am and 9 am at the church, and our kids don't do well sitting for 2 hours in the dark. We all went Sat. at 9am (but I ended up leaving with the two little boys after 10 minutes.) So, I went by myself at 5 am on Sunday. It was so peaceful and enlightening. It was coincidentally the session where I saw "my friend" Sister Wixom speak.
I got Linus up and noticed a bunch of new bug bites, and a boil. Poor kid.
Random stuff:
Ella's wall decorated with projects and inspirational messages. I love her eye for design.
And this funny little monkey is now 4 years old.
This is an unsettling sight.
We had some wind a flew the kite a few times. Love Owen's face.
At school there was a swarm of bees on our playground. That was educational.
And I had the kids make fairy tale costumes from scraps of fabric. The costumes are pretty impressive considering they only used kid scissors, tape, and a stapler.
