FHE

Not growing up in a Mormon family, I never had nor never heard of Family Home Evening. So when we joined the church and started having a family I was excited of the thought of it. You know the THOUGHT of it! I imagined singing Primary songs, doing fun family activities, reading the scriptures together and coloring. Well it goes more like this.......

Me: Okay everyone time for Family Home evening

Today we are going to talk about being a good example

Giovanni: I already know how to be a good example

Me: Yeah I know but we are going to talk about how Jesus' is a good example

Angelo: Is there going to be a snack?

Me: Yes there will be a snack.

Angelo: When can we have snack?

Me: After we are done talking.

Me: Okay Daddy is going to start with a scripture.

Giovanni: I know we should be a good example like Jesus

Me: Yes, we should Daddy is going to read a scripture about that.

Angelo: Are we done talking yet? Are we ready for a snack yet?

Me: I just look at Carlos.....I would say are we almost done but 10 minutes has passed and we did not start yet. 

Lucky for me Carlos is good about catching their attention. Without him I am pretty sure I would have just served snack! So it is not going the way I thought but at least we try!
