We are not awesome at doing FHE. Every night is kind of FHE for us, but we're not great at having an actually lesson or doing something outside the norm. But last night was great. After dinner we went to a new little place that just opened for some frozen custard {it's pretty comparable to Neilson's. So all my S. SLC/Provo friends, do stop by, it's called BOMBDIGITTY'S, on 126th and 14ish W}. It was fun to get out and Evva insisted she wear her sparkly black church shoes with her jogging suit. We're classy.
After coming home and getting the house cleaned up, we ended up in Evva's room and started playing around with Rob's nerf gun. We then tried to teach Evva to do a somersault. It was so funny. So totally rolled to the side. So I showed her. I haven't done one for YEARS and I'm convinced I must have been much smaller in size because I felt like I had a long way to go to roll over my head. Rob took a turn and didn't do much better than Evva. So funny. That lead us to being Frogs, which lead us to an impromptu game of following the leader, animal edition. We were laughing so hard being penguins, snakes, elephants, and lots of other things. Evva has having a blast and all three of us were exhausted by bed time.
Good memories. It was a good night!

SO FUN!!! I love having a family. But with the FHE issue, I felt the same way and I got some really great advice! Call it FHE. If you go out for custard- start with a prayer, sing a song while you are in the car and enjoy the rest of the evening as planned. It is so important that the kids know that FHE is what they are doing (even if that wasn't the original plan) because when they talk about it in Primary, they feel confident that they have a great family who does FHE every week even if it isn't the traditional prayer, song, scripture, lesson and desert. I thought it was a cop out at first, and I felt a little tricky in a bad way, but I am so greatful that we do it this way and the traditional way. The boys LOVE FHE:)
You are the best mom ever! I hope I can be half the mom to Beckett that you are to Evva. Sounds like such a fun night!
FHE is a struggle for us too for the same reasons- cute story it made me giggle!
