So I prepare a family home evening lesson on The Resurrection. I'm thinking that all the kids will really enjoy it because it was the one where you have 12 plastic Easter eggs and each one has a scripture and an object that pertains to the scripture inside it. I thought this was a good chance to bear my testimony of the Savior to my children. Well this is how it really went down.....
The eggs get passed out. Halli had prepared an opening hymn on the keyboard(it was a Christmas song). We didn't have songbooks, therefore the hymn ended up sounding hummed or mumbled. Cade was helping with the lesson so he decided that he would say the opening prayer. I begin the lesson. All were quiet and good for about 3 eggs worth. Then Brigg decided to play the keyboard. Kennedi thought she was coming to the rescue by getting Brigg but then ended up chasing him around the ottoman four or five times while they laughed. Cade got in on the action and began throwing his eggs around. Brigg began his high pitch squeals. I'm not stopping the lesson until it's done! At egg #10 Cade decides to drag a toy across the leather ottoman. "What are you doing!?" I ask. His reply, "I just wanted to see if it would do that."
Well heaven help me it did!! Just two more eggs to go. The last egg is done and so are my patients. Cade decided he would say the closing prayer also even though Kennedi was jumping up and down with her hand raised hoping to get called on. We told him no and to let someone else. That didn't go over well. So he repeated everything Kennedi said in the prayer after she would say it.
So much for a spiritual FHE. Can't wait til next Monday!!

Aren't FHE great with 2 year olds?! It's amazing how much noise their little bodies and moths can make in such a short amount of time!
I meant mouths, not moths!
Glad to see an update- I was beginning to wonder about you! I called you back, did you get my message? Call me anytime and I can help with your blog background! Don't you just love FHE? I wonder if the kids learn anything at all with all the commotion going on!
Isn't that the truth. I swear the more time you spend on a lesson the worse it goes. My only saving grace is that I remember FHE at home, and I am sure my parents didn't think I would.
At least your trying to have Family Night! You'll be blessed for that and you're kids will remember that when they're older. We are so bad at having it. And we don't even have any excuses! Can't wait to come spend a week with eight crazy Kemptons!!!
I just noticed I mixed up my 'your' and my 'you're' in that comment. Please don't think I'm completely illiterate
Sounds perfect! I can't wait to hear about the adventures in family scripture reading - they usually go about the same.
We have definitely had those times. One time we locked all the kids out of the house for a long breather. Somehow, something sticks!
