Every week on the way home from church, the boys try to break me. In their sweetest voices, they ask,
"Can we play computer when we get home?"
No!
"Can we watch a Kung Fu Panda?"
No!
"Can we beat each other senseless all in the name of fun?"
No!
(Well, maybe they don't actually ask that last one, but it does seem to happen every Sunday afternoon! )
Anyways, after our usual begging-rejection-whining routine on the way home this week, Cam asked, "But mo-uummm, what are we going to do that's fun?"
I suggested they build me scenes and stories from the Book of Mormon with their legos.
They took me seriously!
It was actually peaceful for a while!
They worked together!
And, they came up with some good stuff!
Noah's Ark
King Benjamin on the Tower
Joshua marching around the city of Jericho
Joseph Smith in Liberty Jail
Samuel the Lamanite on the Wall & really long arrows
