Every Monday night we have "Family Night." This entails singing, prayers, a short bible/church lesson, reflection, fun time, and usually a treat afterward. Last night we talked about Samuel the Lamanite. He was asked by God to preach to those who were wicked-they did not listen and tried to kill Samuel-but the Lord protected him. Thus the Lord will protect us when we follow His words (the reflection). So for the activity, we acted this out. We all had a blast, enjoyed time together, and learned some valuable life lessons.
Samuel (Travis) who stood on a wall and preached. While the wicked people (the kids) threw stones and arrows (marshmallows).

Amber-you guys are so cute! Way to go having a fun FHE. Our most recent fav was the brother of Jared. Josh wants to read it every night now. And heck ya I'm tagging you! Have fun!
That is a really good idea! We are having to make our FHE's more exciting since the boys have come- we need more hands on- thanks for the cute idea!!
That is so cute that you all get involved like that. Sometimes Dustin is grouchy about FHE cause our kids are so young but I always try to do it. Elli loves it! Even if its just a simple little lesson, song, and game. She looks forward to monday nights.
Thanks for the post on my blog too. Sometimes I forget I am not alone in my "mothering dilemmas". Its too easy to look at all the good other moms do, their clean houses, and fun activities, but I know we probably all (or most) feel the same! I've just got to put my thoughts into action...
fun idea!! My little-uns would probably scarf up the marshmallows before we ever got to throw them - hehe. Great idea, though!
