Yesterday we picked up Ryker for the weekend and can I say it is sooo nice to have him home. He always has a little bit of a hard time adjusting at first, so I am glad that we had a fun FHE lesson planned for tonight. Ryker has been asking if we could have a lesson on this for almost a month and I finally (with lots of help from dad) got around to putting it all together.
Opening prayer: Ryker
Opening song: Keep the Commandments (pretty much a solo by mom)
Scripture: Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
(Ephesians 6:11)
Lesson: I explained to the kids that when you ride a bike or play football you wear a helmet and pads to protect yourself, and in life we need to wear "pads and helmets" to protect ourselves against Satan's temptations. The kids LOVED this lesson and of course loved to "pretend fight" with their shields and swards after the lesson was over:)
Treat: COOKIES (MY FAVORITE) I have already made 3 batches since coming home with Tallin.. My intention every time was to eat a few and then give most of them away, I haven't given away a SINGLE cookie... SOOO NOT COOL!
closing prayer: mom
Ryker and bri excited to be with eachother
Ryker dressed up in the armor first, LOVED IT!
Dugi however, did not love it as much:)
Bri thought it was the best thing ever
I kept trying to sneak a picture of dad and he was making all sorts of goofy faces.. I finally caught him off guard when he was holding Tal.. how can you not smile when you are holding that kid!!
Pipa wanted to dress up too:)
Tallin "Tui" gotta love that face.
dugi loved his watermelon
but not as much as DADDY did..
super fun night. I'm soo glad kaj and i found time to put this lesson together, even though it ended up being a sward match towards the end the boys had a really great time and they actually listened for the most part:)
