Yikes! We moved over the summer!! We've been having FHE, but I haven't been documenting it!! (We didn't have internet for about 6 weeks) I'll try my best to do a bit of remembering but....
September 8th, we took some chocolate zucchini muffins to all our new neighbors to introduce ourselves. So glad we did. I admit was terrified, but it was really a great idea.
September 15th, we talked to the kids about "We reap what we sow" over dinner and we just happened to have had a plumber and our landlord there at the time and it ended up in a lengthy discussion between our landlord and us about Mormonism and what we believe. It was really awesome! (and I think the plumber was eavesdropping :D)
September 22nd, I was feeling overwhelmed about a gigantic pile of laundry that needed folding, and decided to teach the kids (6, 4, and almost 2) how to fold laundry and we played a game where we put clothes on from the basket in a silly way and ran them over to the piles and fold them. It got kind of crazy and only a little bit actually got folded, but I think the kids had fun and we spent time together as a family, right?
Tomorrow, I'm planning to talk about "Follow the Prophet" as a precursor to conference this weekend. We are going to make sure everyone knows who the prophet is, what a prophet is, and we are going to play a game where one person is blindfolded and someone else helps them with instructions to put a puzzle or a toy together or something. Then we will play "Follow the Leader" or "The Prophet (Simon) Says" and the leader will have a picture of the prophet.
update: we did the puzzle thing and it occurred to me after that it probably would have been more effective to have someone try to put the puzzle together by themselves blind-folded and then have someone help them after so they could see how much easier it is when you follow the instructions.
