A day of play

This spring Nate and I caught a stomach bug that took us down pretty hard, we couldn't take care of ourselves let alone the boys. The boys were left to their own devices. It was like the Lord of the Rings at our house. Boys everywhere doing what they wanted. None of them felt that they needed to get dressed for the day, so they ran around in their underwear. They mostly spent the day playing out on the trampoline. They did a good job of playing nice and taking care of each others needs, and best of all no one got hurt. I must have found some strength to snap this picture. I am my mommies girl. Nothing stops me from taking a good picture.

Hoopsters

We got a basketball hoop and the boys are big fans. We got it mainly to keep the neighbors from parking in front of our house. Shhh, don't tell them that. Oh and it is good for shooting some hoops which we do quit often.

FHE

Sometimes our Family Home Evenings are duds and sometimes they are a huge success. This one I am happy to report was a huge success. We watched a movie that showed Christ washing the apostles feet and we talked about the significance of him doing so. Then we took turns washing each others feet. I believe that by serving our brothers we learn to appreciate them more. I was impressed that the boys were willing to serve their brothers without grumbling or complaint. Fun times at the Francis house!
