We have a Sunday rule that no friends inside on Sundays, and my kids are not allowed to go inside their friends house either. The fact that we live next to our cousins can sometimes confuse the rule. Between our houses we have 11 kids! They range in age from 13-1 month. They all adore each other and play so well together. This summer the older ones have had some great ideas to add to the joy and the heat of the backyard on Sunday.
*They have done plays
*Created a clubhouse and club
*Had a carnival with an obstacle coarse and face painting
*Major soccer games
*Just face painting
*Treasure hunts
*And so on...
TODAY, they topped it all! They had their own church. They called it "Mini Church" Complete with testimony meeting, where they bore their testimonies to each other, and Sacrament. Hank came in to go to the bathroom and informed us that they would be holding sacrament in the backyard. Colin and I looked at each other, like, should we stop them? We decided "no". It is innocent. Besides, who doesn't want there kids in the backyard bearing their testimonies to their friends?! Can you believe that they did this after they already "endured" 3 hours of "Big church" already?
Very Joseph Smith style wouldn't you say!
LOVE them
You didn't tell me that...so funny!!! Love them too!!
