Sunday & Monday night my boys seemed to want to test and try us just a tad.... We try to do FHE on Sunday, but, well that just wasn't going to happen. I had planned to do a message that I found in the LDS living magazine which was pretty simple. But after reading scriptures it went down hill from there. We ended up sending Jared & Luke to their rooms around 6:30pm for behavior issues. Yesterday we had another mishap with Jared so decided it just wasn't going to work then either. Finally today, I saw that I still needed to take the two movies we rented back, but with the new blockbuster rules they really weren't late yet. So...we fed the kids dinner and Doug went off to work. I decided it would be a good time to sit down and watch a movie with the kids for FHE. We try to switch it up a bit and have a serious lesson one week and have an activity the next. I sat and watched RV with the kids. I thought it was great! I ended up watching the whole thing without getting off the couch. (this is really a miracle--I am always on the move) I did seem to lose a few bodies in the middle, Taylor left to the other room in the middle since her Disney Channel show was on, then Jared. However, Luke sat and watched the entire thing with me. It was kinda fun to have him sit and proceed to tell me what was going to happen next. He warned me of the parts the "man was going to get mad" or when he was going to ride his bike out of the water" He watched it the other day when I was gone. Its amazing how much kids remember just from one time. Anyways, if you have a chance its really a must see. I do admit I love Robin Williams though as well as Jeff Daniels. I am going to count that as our FHE for the week minus Doug.

You win some you lose some, at least you are doing it!
I think that FHE is hard. I count anything that we do together.
I haven't seen RV, yet. We'll have to add that to our list. Don't you just love Blockbuster? I love all of the extra time that you are given to return the movies. We have saved so much money by not having to pay late fees.
I had to laugh, I remember as a kid many of our FHE's ended the same way! We have our times as well, but we just do the best we can huh?
Oh, we were so terrible during FHE growing up. We could never stay serious. It was just so weird for us to have to sit there and have another lesson when we'd just had a lesson the day before! Good for you for even making the attempt.
I'll have the check out RV. I wondered about this one, but I do like Robin Williams and Cheryl Hindes is great too. Onto my Netflix queue it goes!
Good for you for trying three nights in a row!! That is perserverance! I recall having fights break-out at FHE growing uo too. Then of course they sort of fizzled out and we stopped having FHE altogether. Don't ever stop! Keep up the habit! You will be glad you did, because it will be such a benefit for your children when they are older. My girls love FHE and we have it faithfully every week since we first got married, and I hope we always do!
Good for you... sometimes Robin Williams is required for FHE success. A lesson for us all.
glad to hear i am not the only one that doesn't sit through a whole movie...I have been thinking of renting it...but wasn't sure about it...after being "a editor") for the RV books at Kelley Blue Book I really didn't want to have anything to do with them for a while.... but a fun comedy is always at hand...or it should be!
