Deja vu

I know you already saw all of these ideas when I posted about our Primary activity but here is how it translated into our very own Family Home Evening.

The kids taught us the lesson using their toolboxes.

Chloe was kept reverent with a tray full of M&M's.

Grub away Chooch!

We built the San Diego temple with sugar cubes and frosting since that is where our eternal family begins.

Chloe was the foreman

Busy builders (and look at the glimpse of all that GREEN in my backyard)

Chloe reminds her crew that hard hats are required!

That's better.

Look what we made (nice faces kids)

Then we built homes. I was not about to roll sugar cookies again so we each took a warm glob of Rice Krispie treat and formed it into a house and then decorated it. I think the kids had been eating sugar cubes though because no one wanted their treat...except for Chloe of course.

Mommy's house

Daddy's house started out 3D but when it crumbled it had to be rebuilt

Nice try baby girl!

Alex and his house

Alyssa and her house


Fun stuff! I hope some of the other kids went home and helped their families become eternal family builders too.

How fun! We did use if for FHE as well and Abi loved being the 'teacher' but we really didn't do anything else with the treats and things. she would have loved that.

Wow. I have no idea why my comment is saying Kehl the Beloved. Weird. This is Cheryl.

I like Chloe's activity(grubbin MnM's). That is so funny she is the foreman. Alyssa does not look thrilled wearing the hard hat. That activity is so cute. I liked Seth's pad! O.K., those are all my scattered thoughts.

Luke looked through the pics and said, "Ow, bee bite you Seth" when he saw the one of Seth and the kids with your deadly backyard in the background! And of course he wants some MnM's now just like his mom!

Cheryl, Do you even know Kehl the Beloved? That is so weird!

I sent home instructions for all 3 activities with the kids...maybe Abi took her instructions out of her bag. I was worried about the littler kids being able to remember everything at home. Oh well, it doesn't matter because the sugar cube temple would be a fun FHE for another time with a lesson about temples. It was kind of a lot of stuff for one FHE.

Val, I think you just complimented Seth's house because I liked Dave's Gooble cookie...ha,ha!

Julie... regular FHE is the smartest thing one can do. I am grateful that you and Seth are doing this.

loser me spent last night sitting on the couch. For FHE we watched some TV and then I fell asleep next to Isaak and then woke up and Anthony begged for me to sleep by him. I then fell asleep next to him. Anthony is planning to teach us from his tool kit he just needs his mom to step up and do something more than fall asleep!!

Jen said...

Wow, you guys really go all out for FHE. Good for you! I hope to one day get better organized about this.

I love the idea, and the temple and houses turned out great.

What a cute idea! Maybe if I have the energy on Monday we will try it.
