FHE Our Favorite Night of the Week

Today has been quite a day we started out having to get up early again for Alex to go back to school. Then of course Fayth-Lynn didnt know what to do her play buddy was gone I think she was very bummed today but we tried to make the day go by kinda fast. Then Alex finally got home from school (we all missed him today) and the two of them were sent outside to play since daddy noticed that they know the tv commercials. I made a tamale taquitos for dinner... very interesting but really good. After dinner we had FHE, we love this night because we forget about the tv, phones, and computers for a little while and its nice to just get to spend time togther. Tonight we put together a gingerbread house that we were suppose to do on Christmas but didnt get too... Alex and I put the walls and roof together and while it was drying so the kids could decorate it we reveiwed the commandments. Alex has forgotten them all becuase of school and all the crazy last couple of months so we decided it was time to review and we will continue to do so over the next couple weeks since he has forgotten them all... After going over the first 5 we read our nightly scriptures and on to finishing the house the kids each decorated a side and they had so much fun doing so! (next year I think I will see what it takes to bake my own and do the whole thing from scratch!!!) The kids did amazing with the house and they cant wait to eat it tomorrow.

After the house was finished Alex said prayer and he did such an amazing job at it, blessing EVERYTHING that went through that big brain of his!!!! It was the cutest prayer ive ever herd, Im sure even our Heavenly Father got a chuckle. After that we were about to send Alex up to shower and Fayth-Lynn to bed and then I remembered our fun snack that I made so we gobbled down some yummy banana pudding and off to bed time routines the kids went.

Now that the kiddos are in bed daddy is working on some computer programming stuff and mommy is about to get up and get some stuff that should have been done earlier done... Fold some laundry, and put it away, put the food away and try and finish the dishes and hopefully finally sweep and mop the floor! Hope everyone else has a restful good night!!!!
