Family Home Evening in the Fast Lane

Part 1:  A trip to the school to see Emma's science fair project.  "Spritz! The Effect of Different Household Cleaners on Different Household Stains"  where they proved that Windex worked the best and that vinegar and water was equally effective as the eco-friendly Seventh Generation brand.    In other words, if you're going with organic cleaners, you may as well save your money and just use vinegar and water. 

 Part 2:  (no pictures)  Easter lesson in the car with Adam teaching us about the Last Supper and Ellie chiming in about Christ's birth. 

Part 3:  A family trip to Red Mango for the best darn frozen yogurt ever.  I am a fan of the  Pomegranate flavor and the kids just like that they can serve themselves.   

I figure that the fact that we had FHE at all will hopefully make up for the fact that we hurriedly put the kids to bed as soon as we got home...skipping story time, so Glen could work on our taxes and I could make a small dent in the disaster that seems to have consumed our house ever since I started focusing on organizing our bedroom.

Slaying Our Goliaths…One Marshmallow at a Time

If you can overlook the ever-present clutter in the background of the pictures, you will see a glimpse at one of our favorite family home evenings ever.  We have this lesson every-0ther-year or so and it never fails to be a fun and memorable night.    One of these weeks I’ll even get around to scanning it in and sharing it with the world. 



Now don’t mind me while I go climb into my bed with visions of warmer days dancing through my head.    After getting spoiled with a little glimpse of Spring this past week, the possible 2-4 inches of snow tonight is rather discombobulating.   <----Hehe--I’ve always wanted to use that word in a blogpost and I’m feeling rather full of chutzpah now that I have successfully subjugated the onerous utterance. 

Now farewell my congenial and ardent compatriots, while I take my leave to the boudoir where my pulchritudinous paramour awaits my affable presence.   

(I’m feeling rather magnanimous tonight, therefore I’m offering a special prize to the first person who can translate that last sentence without using a dictionary…on the other hand anyone who presumes to tell me that the usage of my pretentious verbage is incorrect will be offered a slushy snowball to the elbow. )
