What I've been up to...

So here is my latest project. Copied from my friend Summer's blog (which I love by the way). It was so easy. Summers blog has the DYI instructions,however,let me say I used more like 2 yards of fabric instead of the 1 she said it would take. Maybe I had a bigger wreath form??? It was a fun project for me. The only draw back was the straight pin that was stepped on by the little neighborhood friend- going all the way in. Ouch! Advice...don't leave straight pins lying on the ground while children are running around! Oops...

So tonight for FHE Faith gave us a lesson about Samuel the Lamanite. We didn't have all of the items that the lesson called for so we improvised a little bit and had the kids dress up as an added bonus! The kids loved it! We talked about Samuel and how he was shot at with arrows and they couldn't hit him and then talked about some of the arrows that Satan trys to throw at us (ex. pornography, drugs and alcohol, selfishness, pride, immorality, etc.) The kids each dressed up like Samuel and we tried to throw these paper arrows at them. They couldn't hit them...well... because they were flimsy paper!!! But, it really got me thinking how my kids will fair out there in the real world with all of those temptations about them. I often wonder if I'm doing enough. I can really get myself worked up if I think too much and let my fears take over. I know that there are ways to protect our children and I just hope I'll remember to take the time to give my kids all of the protection that they can have.
