I wanted to share with everyone one of the funnest FHE's we've had. It seems like all of my friends have little boys, so maybe you'll be able to use this too! In the Friend this month, there is a page on preparing to be a missionary. So we read the page and then actually did some of the activities. First we dressed Ryan up like a missionary, in a tie and suit coat, and then put a Book of Mormon in his backpack. We even made a missionary badge for him and told him his name was Elder Grange. I wish we would have had Spencer's missionary stuff, but it's at home. We did look at his pictures though. Then we read scriptures, pretended to iron clothes, sorted laundry by colors and whites, measured water and poured into a pot (that was cooking :), and finally we taught Ryan how to "teach the gospel": He knocked on a door, Spencer answered, and he said "I want to teach you about Jesus!". There was some other activities you could act out too, we thought we could do this FHE again and cover some other things. I also included a picture of Spencer as a missionary, because he is the cutest Missionary EVER! Yesterday, it was 5 years since he came home.

Does Ryan give you his half-eaten cookie if you accept his offer?
That is a really good idea. Is that Spencer with a TAN?
How sweet! We are totally doing it!
Erin, you are the best little Mom. I want to be more like you.
First off, you are a way cute mom for even thinking of this FHE! And second, you are an even BETTER mom for actually doing all the fun things you did! You inspire me to be more creative with our FHE's.
