Independance Day Family Home Evening

Since Independence Day is this week, we decided to have a Patriotic History themed Family Home Evening. David tried to teach the girl's about evil, oppressive, tyrannical, King George III. To illustrate the events of the American Revolution we had a little dramatization....

David as the tyrant, King George the Third

King George is demanding taxes from the hard working American Patriots.

The Freemen get fed up and charge King George on a horse.The Freemen take down King George III with a sword.You're done, Tyrant!The Freemen declare their independence and celebrate by eating a flag cake!This dramatization is fictional, based loosely on actual events.

Hopefully, we'll do a better job with historical accuracy next year. David also showed the girls a couple of scenes from the John Adams HBO Mini Series. They were sure were pleased that the good soldiers won and now we are free! USA, USA, USA!!!

Father's Day 2009!

Eliza and Sadie brought Daddy breakfast in bed.

They wanted to join him.

My Boy and His Twin Cousin

We went to Molly's house the other day. My niece, Camille, has the most delightful disposition! She is so friendly. She took an interest in her baby cousin. They were born on the same day but Camille thinks she is a toddler. :0) She followed Levi around and wanted to do what he did. It was so cute. I wonder what kind-of trouble they'll get into together when they are both on two feet?

All I want....

"Dear Heavenly Father...
I'm sad. I don't have nothing...All I want is a Genevieve set for my birthday and a Hello Kitty Moobie for my birthday. In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen"
-Sadie, age 3

My little preschooler uttered this prayer when we knelt for family prayer this evening. She whined out the first 3 sentences and quickly turned cheerful as she thought of the rest. Have we done something wrong?
