Quality Family Time...

We try to have weekly Family Home Evening on Monday nights. This usually involves a short lesson and an activity of some kind. Once in a while we will have a family movie night. Last week, we did that, and we watched Return of the Jedi as a family.
The kids take turns conducting family home evening. Monday this week it was #3's turn to conduct, and D reminded him at dinner.
#3: I want to have a family movie night! (this was said in a whiny voice)
Me: We are doing something special for family home evening tonight.
(At this point #4 joined the conversation)
#4: Oh, so we'll still get to watch something on TV!


(To clarify, we don't even watch regular TV. We live in a small town and don't get good reception, and we don't think there is much out there worth paying for cable or otherwise. All of our TV viewing is via DVD and video.)

Thinking it may have been a baby snail with an undeveloped shell, I kept it for several weeks, but eventually I gave up on it being a snail and set it free. I know that snails and slugs are pretty much the same thing, but I just can't stomach the thought of feeding slugs for some reason. Snails, I can handle. Near the start of the school year I was walking home from the school with #3 and #4 and I chanced upon a snail crossing the sidewalk. I stopped the boys and had them come and look at it. My intention was to look at it, and then let it go on its slow but merry way. Then I saw a second snail just off of the sidewalk, and I couldn't resist. #1 was pretty sad when Claireford died ( Claireford is named after Cliff and Claire Hu...

Let them be little

I made this video/slideshow about three years ago when I was first learning how to use video editing software. Its not award winning, but it makes me feel good, and it has all five of the boys in it. I hope you enjoy it!
