FHE

It's no secret right now that the driving force that gets us to partake in FHE is Tasha.  That child is relentless.  She reviews with us no later than Sunday  every one's responsibilities to make sure we all do our part.  Is it odd that your 7 year old in a authoritative voice,"Dad, this week you have the lesson."  Really?  How awful am I when your child takes over that responsibility and insists that she conduct the meeting as well.  At least, we are doing it, right?

Last night, Tasha was all over it.  "Dad, don't forget you lesson!"  When the time came, she shyly asked if I had prepared a lesson tonight.  I do believe she expected me to say no.  To her delight, I had it it was game on, literally.  Kyra handled the opening prayer (it was Payton's turn, but he was sidetracked in the other room by Buzz), Mon had been assigned the music (song), and then I was up.  At this point, I am sure Tasha, as well as the rest of my family, still had doubts.  But alas, I had the lesson.  Based on Charity, it was the story of the Three Marbles.  It was a nice reminder of what we need to do.  Then came the game.  It was a new game called Left Center Right.  It is a face paced dice game for all ages that know the difference between left, right, and center.  We in little time, played the game 4 times!  We all had fun and laughed lots.  Tasha, who brought her competitive side with her to the game, got a little discouraged that mom won the 1st 2 games and dad won the last 2.  This is purely a game of chance, no skill whatsoever.  But in the end, she was happy and had lots of fun.  Even Payton had managed to ditch Buzz and join us.  Tasha gave the closing prayer and remembered to bless the treats (OK, with a little reminder form her older sister).  Does anyone else have issues with asking that peanut butter cookies strengthen and nourish our bodies?  Great FHE!  Thank you to the 7 year old!
