In light of the fact that online school starts on Tuesday and the kids will be spending soooo much time on the screen, I declared today a "no screens" day. It was glorious. We tried a new recipe for breakfast, played board games, played tennis, and played our latest back-yard game obsession - chair soccer. It was so nice never to be asked for screen time and to have everyone happy and participating in outdoor things. I am so sad this has to end.
For scripture study we've been studying about the prophet Samuel the Lamanite who preached on the wall of the city because he wasn't allowed inside. I had each kid pick their favorite part of his speech and share it with us "up on the wall" while we behaved like the Nephites and tried to hit him with our "rocks" and "arrows." I reminded the kids that the people had been unable to hit him due to God's protection and so they weren't allowed to actually hit anyone either. That kind of worked, but sometimes the temptation was too much. A good smack on the nose for dad just makes things so much more fun.
