Playing Primary

The favorite activity for Sunday afternoons at our house is "playing Primary". The girls enjoy reenacting the hours they spend each week at Primary. Sometimes this can be pretty elaborate and it often includes setting up chairs for all of the stuffed animals, little people, dolls, etc. Since I often teach sharing time it is especially interesting to me to hear their interpretations of the lessons. And a large portion of the time is spent doing singing time, of course.

Anwyn has the pattern of our opening exercises down pat. They say the yearly theme, and there are usually one or two birthdays to celebrate. Today, Anwyn actually wrote a talk, to be given by Miss Pig. Here are her words, transcribed.

“Humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually,” This means that you need to be reverent and not braging. Beeing revrent meens being quiet and thinking about Jesus. Well in this case folding your arms, and bowing your head, and closing your eyes. Braging means that you are saying you are beter then everyone ellse. The scripcher also meens that you shold pray evry morning, and night, and when you can. In the name of Jesus Crist amen. 

  We talked about this scripture in sharing time and in a FHE lesson this month, and I think she has a good understanding of it!

In our primary we have weekly scripture seekers: children take turns sharing  their favorite scripture story. Anwyn completed a scripture seeker sheet for Miss Frog.

A scripcher story I like to read is…When Jesus visidid the nefits.

One thing I lernd from this story is…Jesus loves the little children.

Pleas draw a picher of the scripcher story.

Happy Birthday to Lily

Lily is four years old!

 

We had a fun time celebrating her birthday. Last Saturday we had a Tangled theme birthday party with a few friends. We kept the party pretty simple, but it was a lot of fun. You can see all of the party details over at my Nurture Mama blog if you are interested.

 

 

 To go along with the Tangled theme we made a tower cake--out of doughnuts!

The actual day of her birthday was busy and fun. In the morning we hosted the mommy preschool for Lily and her three friends. After naptime in the afternoon for Zach, the kids and I headed to the park to play. We invited everyone from Lily's sunbeam class (as well as the other sunbeam class) and we had cupcakes to share.

After dinner (homemade macaroni and cheese), Lily opened her presents. She got a few fun toys and books.

 She has been asking for a "kid umbrella" for awhile. Now we just need a rainy day!

Happy Birthday, Lily! We are so glad you are part of our family!

Doing the laundry

 This is the best kind of laundry to do. 

 

 

To the Hospital and Back Again

Lily getting rehydrated at the hospital

Last week Lily got sick; she couldn't keep anything down. We took her to the doctor's office on Friday and then we were sent to the Emergency Department. She received a few units of fluids, showing considerable improvement. We left the hospital after nearly 12 hours there. Lily is doing well and back to her normal self.
