A FHE to remember

We have been blessed this week to have Tyler, Christy and Jake here in the evenings while Kurt works and Carlee coaches Volleyball. Kim had prepared a wonderful family home evening on the word of wisdom.

Jake and Ellie didn't listen to the lesson, but they really enjoyed sitting by each other and being cute. Ellie decided that Jake needed to take off his shoes, so she did the honors for him.- Back to the lesson.... Kim had made some beautiful bananna cupcakes to illustrate that somethings that are not good for us- look really yummy and good. She said the kids could have any cupcake they wanted, but strongly recommended that they do not take ones with sprinkles on. Carter and McKayla wanted the sprinkles, but because their mom "strongly recommended that they don't" took plain ones. Tyler couldn't resist.

There was sand mixed the cake batter and even though the cupcake tasted good- it was really bad to eat. Tyler's so nice, he would hae eaten it anyway- but we traded him a sand-less one.

Deven did a much better job of illustrating how nasty it is to pick something that Heavenly Father recommends "strongly" that we not partake of. They decided that next time (if there ever is a next time) use too much salt instead of sand. Sand is very crunchy on the teeth and the cupcakes tasted good. Salt would have made the cake nasty.
