Tuesday Night was our combined Young men young women activity for the month. Young women were in charge so as leaders we decided it would be fun to serve the kids and the Young Men Presidency. There is a catch though, our food was all named yucky gross things, the food was real, and it was good, but they just didn't know what they were ordering off the Menu.

Doesnt taht all sound delightful, well they had to order in 3 courses. They could not get the next course unless they ate everything they had in the previous course. Now the funny part is that the fork, spoon, knife and napkin are included on that menu. But if you didn't order it you didn't get it....LOL The Young Men Pres. got his fork, spoon and napkin for his last course....poor guy had to eat with his hands. Here is the real menu
1. garlic bread
2 knife
3.vegetables in a cup with ranch
4 Lime Rikki Drink
5 green salad with dressing
6 spoon
7. napkin
8. Ice cream with a cookie
9 spaghetti and meatballs
10 a fork
So it was entirely possible to get your dessert first and main course last. It turned out really fun, there was alot of laughter and giggles.
Julie our Young Women President did a mini lesson after, which I loved. She based it on Stimulus vs reaction. In between the two we have a few seconds to make a choice about how we are going to react instead of reacting automatically. She also talked about choice and accountability and how at very young ages (teen age years) we are faced with choices that have potential to affect our whole lives. Wow, I never looked at it that way. and how all we have to do is think for a quick second and it could make a big difference in our futures.
She ended with this scripture from the Book of Mormon .
2nephi 10:23
Therefore,
cheer up your hearts, and remember that ye are
free to
act for yourselves—to d
choose the way of everlasting death or the way of eternal life.
It was a success in my eyes, I hope the kids had fun.
ITS FRIDAY!!!!
I pampered myself in a way today and it was entirely worth it!!! I paid to have my house cleaned, It was so bad I didn't even know where to start. So right now I am sitting in an almost germ free house loving life! I wouldn't have been able to get anything done today anyway cause my little Sophie has a temp of 103, she got her shots yesterday, if I don't get a hold of it we will be seeing the doctor this weekend. tomorrow is my 12 year Wedding anniversary!!! I have know Idea if we will get out on a "DATE", but just sitting down to watch a movie with Wesley is good enough for me. That all for now folks ~E :)
