Every Monday night (or almost every Monday night) we have family home evening (FHE).  It’s usually pretty short and consists of a short lesson, maybe an activity, a couple of songs, scriptures, prayers and refreshments.  We make it really short and informal since we have two small kids and it’s hard to keep their attention for long periods of time, especially Ashton.  On Thursday, London had a primary activity where they made FHE kits.  They made cookie mixes for dessert and came home with a bag of things for games and some papers for lesson and game ideas.  So this afternoon the two of us made the cookies and prepared her lesson.  Today was the first time that London has taught the lesson.  She mostly read it  but she did a great job!  I was so proud of her!  She taught us all about the star spangled banner (flag and song).  Then we played a game called Oink Piggy Oink.  In this game, a person stands in the middle of the group, blindfolded and spins around.  Once he/she stops turning, he/she points to a person and says, “oink piggy oink.”  The person pointed to then must oink and the person in the middle has to guess who is oinking.  During one round, London pointed to Ashton and said, “oink piggy oink,” and right on cue, he leaned over and farted.  I almost cried I was laughing so hard.  Even as I type this I am laughing out loud.  It was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time.  After a day like yesterday, I’m glad my kids can make me laugh every once in a while.
