Follow the Prophet

Tonight for FHE we discussed the importance of following the prophet today. To illustrate the point, we talked about Samuel the Lamanite and how he stood on the wall preaching to the Nephites but they wouldn't listen to his words. While Samuel (aka Daddy) taught us gospel principles, we openly rebelled against his teachings. While the Nephites attempted to pierce Samuel using their bows and arrows, we used marshmallows. I know what you're thinking - sounds like fun. Well, you know what they say? It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye? Well, that almost happened, thanks to Ethan's aim! I'm sure this will be a memorable evening for everyone!

It's Not a Tea Party, It's a "P" Party!

To make learning more relevant to Austin, we decided to have a "P" party since P was the letter of the week this week. Forget the fact that Austin already knows the sound, letter and gesture for the letter P... really it was an excuse to have some family fun! It was nice to see Abigail get really excited and take charge of the decorations (we just won't tell her how many trees it took to make all that paper! LOL!)

While it may have been an odd combination of foods for dinner and dessert, you can't fault us on trying! Everything of which we partook, started with the letter P. We even used pink and purple cups for punch!
