An Exciting Night

Jessica has been working on a couple of inventions the last few days. At Family Home Evening she demonstrated them all to us. She asked Logan to be her assistant...after finding that standing there holding a bag isn't much fun, he promptly told her he didn't think she needed an assistant and sat back down.

Jessica's inventions.
1. A Bag Stainer
2. A Fancy Tree Swing/ Fishing Pole...I am not actually sure what it is?
3. A Display Line for Your Favorite Cards...(even though you have to punch a whole in them, but who is looking at the particulars??)
5. Snazzy Earphones

Tonight Hunter taught the lesson on the influence of friends. He read a wonderful story and then had an object lesson with water and food coloring. He dropped the food coloring in the clear water and said that whether it is for good or bad, we always influence those around us. It was very well taught...bravo! We then had an intense game of nerf gun attack....kids against parents. Daddy got really into it...he is ruthless.

We have a tradition since the kids were wee tots that whoever conducts Family Home Evening they must stand on the stool. The kids and I all agreed since it was Daddy's turn to conduct it was only right to stand on the stool too. Daddy is wonderful at conducting in sacrament meetings good thing he doesn't have to stand on a stool, his balance isn't so good.
