Monday Night Fun

Our Monday nights are typically taken up with Family Home Evening - as they should be right??? Of course there are the occasional Monday nights when it doesn't work out and I feel the overwhelming guilt of not having fulfilled my responsibility as I should have. But this Monday was not one of those guilt-ridden nights fortunately!!! whew!

Of course, having just done a Lake Powell trip my brain was dead and I could not come up with a decent post Family Home Evening activity. Really... I was trying and trying. I couldn't even climb the stairs to look in the game closet and pull something down. So I did what any mom would do and turned the job over to dad. And then he had to wrack his brain all through the opening song, opening prayer, and lesson. When they were done he was still wracking his brain. No idea... Then I told him the boys were talking about racing earlier in the day and a light when on in his head. He had them do a regular race, a crawling race, a wheelbarrow race.

Then they had to wheelbarrow race HIM:


That didn't quite go as planned - and turned more into a tackle dad fest:



Only a couple of kids got hurt in this activity.

Don't you just love Family Home Evening??? :)
