Family Home Evening

When we get our big kids for the weekend we usually try to have Family Home Evening with them on Sunday nights, before they go back to their mom's house. Last night we had a lesson on obedience. Afterward, we usually play a game, and it was Ashlan's turn to pick one. Darrell suggested we play the "flour" game. None of us had ever heard of it before so we were excited to find out how to play. Dad was excited to teach us...

So, first Darrell packed a bunch of flour into a rubbermaid container. Then, he turned it over onto a plate and placed a dime in the center. We were to use a knife and slice away the layers of flour without letting the dime fall.Whomever made the cut that let the dime fall, would have to dig it out of the flour with their teeth. The kids thought this was great fun, and the game went quickly because of the huge slices they were making to get to that darn dime! Even Ezra got in on the fun.
Branson and Ashlan were our "winners". Good fun!
