Makeup, Fall leaves, and Boot Camp

Yesterday was an interesting day! We did a full day of school, then our neighbor brought the girls a neat makeup kit! They were sooo excited! As you can see by the pictures! We also made neat fall leaf sun catchers for school. It took a long time for them to each find the exact three perfect leaves!! For FHE we had Helamans Boot Camp! We did activities that taught them to obey their parents, exactly, and with strength and respect! It was hilarious! We were laughing sooo hard! So yesterday was a day of makeup, fall leaves and boot camp!
Today has been just as fun. I am exhausted from trying to do everything with pneumonia and a broken rib, so Ive been lounging around trying to save up my energy and heal. The kids have been very busy! They are so good at entertaining themselves! They did some taebo, which CRACKED me up!!!! They had light sabers they were using as weight bars and they were counting out loud with billy blanks and then of course when they were done I had to feel their muscles, lol. ;) Right now the girls are making crowns out of construction paper and dylan has all of his transformers getting ready to battle! We had a nice lunch and im going to rest some more. Its rainy, and gloomy out, but my home is full of busyness, the best kind of all .

FHE: Campout Night ( pretend of course)

It was defintely a pretend campout night- it is about 2 degrees outside right now! For FHE Keith took over and taught the kids knot tying, and other fun little boy scoutish things! We had a prayer and song and then we made smores in the microwave! It was just a fun and simple FHE but the kids LOVED it. I took pics, but need to find my card reader.
Still doing our best to stay in the habit of FHE every monday night. Since we do a gospel lesson daily for school, we have had some fun every now and then with FHE. Most times we do a lesson, etc the normal, but we do like to have some fun family nights too!
Last night we also started our family evening reading time. Im sooo excited about that. After the kids get their jammies on, we all gather in the living room to read from a classic book. Last night we started on the Velveteen Rabbit. Im using the classics list from an old fashioned education site. I am soooo excited! Ive read almost every book on the list already, from my childhood, and I cant WAIT for my kids to experience them. Velveteen Rabbit was my favorite book as a child and it was the first book I bought when I found out i was pregnant with Dylan. I was so happy it was first on the list LOL!!!
Ok, off to work!!!!
