Fun Family Home Evening

I found out one of the great things about buying the front loading washer and dryer is that lots of people like to come over and use it for comforters and sleeping bags that won't fit inside their washers. My brother in law was heading to a campout over the weekend, and needed to get his sleeping bag washed and ready. We ended up making a night of it, and threw in dinner and family home evening. This was a really cute idea that Richard and Joey came up with. You string rope into a little course for the kids to hold on to, and try to tempt them off the course with treats. They need to see if they can hold on to the Iron Rod. At the end of the course, they were rewarded with an even bigger treat. Anyway, the kids thought it was great, and it was cute seeing them try to refuse the little treats. I asked Mack if it was hard to say no to the little treats (trying to lead into a discussion about saying no to the little things in life that seem so easy to say yes to), and he immediately said no. A little bit of pride swelled into me until he followed up that response by saying he doesn't really like Peanut M&M's too much so it was easy to say no:)
