Camping Inside


Alan and Sarah have spent the whole afternoon building tents out of pvc pipe and old sheets and blankets. They've moved in lamps, books, and now they're carrying pillows, blankets and stuffed animals to their new shelters. They just told me that they want to campout in the playroom inside their tents. I told them they could. We'll see how long they stay there tonight.

Material Madness

I've been in a sewing mood lately. Mainly out of necessity. So a lot of my fabric is out, and that means playtime to my wild ones. I don't mind, infact it's kind of neat to see what they do with it. Yesterday they were playing "beach" with some old sheer fabric. They were putting it in front of the fan and pretending it was the waves. One project that needed to be done was to reupholster our kitchen chairs. They were really stained and ripped and gross looking. The problem is the original upholstery is the same fabric as the kitchen curtains and the bench in the kitchen and upholstery fabric is super expensive! But I guess it's much cheaper than buying new chairs and curtains.

Anyway, here's the old fabric, the new fabric,and the wallpaper I needed to match it with.

FHE on the Plan of Happiness

Click on the picture to print out the booklet for your family, or see the sharing time lesson in the January 2005 Friend.

You can get activities and visuals from the "Friend" magazine on lds.org, on practically every subject you'd want to teach in your Family Home Evening. Having small children, I never plan a FHE without visuals, activities, music etc. Last night we used the January 2005 friend where they have this little booklet that the children can make that outlines the Plan of Salvation. Sarah led the lesson last night, and the visuals from this booklet helped her to do it. She had us sing songs, and talked us through the pictures. It was great! She usually doesn't like to be in front of people, but it was good practice for her to be in charge of our family where she could learn not to be scared.
