FHE


Well, the evening ended up very nicely, except for the water fight in the house, started by Britt and Tarod of all people! You see, Tavis and I went for a ride to the temple to end our day where it all started, but of course it was raining so we came back. But apparently we came back too soon because there were footprints  all over the floor, a wet Britt using towels to dry the water puddles in the dining room, and Tarod, also wet,  trying to help. What was not helping was Joey armed with his nerf gun, poised and ready to attack Tarod. And then Tarod, who managed to have one hidden (as only a really good hero does), pulled out his gun and the water fight turned into a nerf fight throughout the house. Can I just say on days like this I am really glad I don't have carpet? And Britt did get it all cleaned up. (It looks like the whipped cream fight with Jeremy taught her well!) What a sweetie, all while the battle for Mackenzie's room was taking place just around the corner.
And yes, Tarod won both battles tonight, but my little warrior fought a good fight!

Oh, and good news on Joey's family prayer: Zach has discovered that if he blackmails Joey by throwing the name of a girl around, (Karina) and saying he will pray for her, Joey has backed off on praying for the girls Zach has dated. (But Britt and Ash are on their own!)  I don't know how I feel about the blackmailing part over praying, but I must admit it is nice not to watch Zach's ears turn red during the prayer. (Okay, right after the prayer, while threatening his brother with bodily harm! Okay, okay! It's the bodily harm part I am not crazy about.)

I hope Heavenly Father sees the intent and not so much the process, lol!

So ends a great Family Home Evening! I love my family, even if we are WAAYYY dysfunctional!
