Family Home Evening

Now that Jeff has been home we have gotten into a better routine of more planned out Family Home Evenings. When it was just Carson and I at home I did really well at first, but as the weeks dragged on FHE became more of scripture study or me just giving Carson a quick lesson with no activity or treat. Now we are getting back into the swing of things and it has been great.

Last week I gave a lesson on the Word of Wisdom and we talked about eating healthy things. I had a bunch of food set out on the table for us to sort through and decide what was healthy to eat. For those things banned in the WofW I just printed out pictures. For the activity, Jeff had us go on a walk to get some exercise. This week we had a lesson on accepting others. There is a Brother in our ward in a wheelchair and Carson has been asking questions about him. So we took the opportunity to talk about how people are different. Jeff gave a lesson on the Good Samaritan and how we should love everyone. Then I planned a scavenger hunt to find all of the pictures of handicapped accessible places on the Village grounds. I gave Carson a picture of the handicapped symbol so he knew what to look for. We talked about parking spaces, ramps, and the "big" stall in the bathrooms at the clubhouse. It was a great evening.
