Yesterday we were having a perfectly lovely family home evening, when Carolina (who was on conducting) said now it's time for the activity. We all looked at my mom and she asked us if we were excited about the Reeds coming. (The Reeds are a REALLY nice family from Reno who come and stay with us sometimes. They are coming tonight.)
Well anyway, we all said we were and she said "I am too but sometimes I get depressed when people stay at our house because there is so much work to do." (We all started feeling a litlle uneasy by now.) She said, "So for activity, we are going to split up into teams and clean the house." (There was moaning by this time.)
She explained to us a game about how we were going to clean. There were 4 teams:
Liberty and I or "The Cool Girls"
Clarissa and Morgan or "The Mighty Sharks"
Mom and Carolina
Dad and Hyrum
Only the coolest team had names. We rushed as fast as we could and got some jobs. Liberty and I won (even though it wasn't a contest) but we got all of our jobs done first!!!!
And pretty soon we had the whole house cleaned, vacuumed, the bathroom mopped, the kitchen swept, the dinner dishes done, and a batch of cookies made!!! And guess what? It was SOOOOOOOOOO fun!!!!!
Anyway, let me get back to the question at the first. All in favor of FHE activities being FUN say "Aye." "Aye!" and it was fun!! Because everything's fun with the hard working, fast walking, cheerful servants of God...The Johnsons!!

Your mom is expert at making things fun and what lovely children you are to help. When we were growing up we knew the FHE activity was over when someone started cry. It was almost as lovely as yours...
ReplyDeletebut not quite.
You can come over to our house for your next FHE. We definitely have some cleaning activities that could happen. We could also paint, texture, tape and mud, and all kinds of other fun things. And if someone wants to make cookies that would be fine by me:)
