More Sunday fun

Once again I was summoned to the boy's room to view their creative efforts in at attempt to play AND keep the Sabbath Day holy.  

And now, it came to pass that Mosiah went and did as his father had commanded him, and proclaimed unto all the people who were in the land of Zarahemla that thereby they might gather themselves together, to go up to the temple to hear the words which his father should speak unto them.

Some random Nephites.... in varying shades & sizes.  
We've got with weapons & without, monochromatic or multicolored, skeletal and fleshy.  Any Nephite you want, we got.
Mason was very proud of the temple.  He made sure I knew he made it ALL by himself.  Design, construction, everything!
And it came to pass that when they came up to the temple, they pitched their tents round about, every man according to his family, 
   And they pitched their tents round about the temple, every man having his tent with the door thereof towards the temple, that thereby they might remain in their tents and hear the words which king Benjamin should speak unto them;

I hope my boys remember the doctrine as well as the layout of the tents and towers. 
I hope they will be  steadfast and immovable, always abounding in good works as King Benjamin hoped for his people.  I find myself in a stage of life where everything seems to be moving much faster than a few years ago.  My children are growing up soo fast now it makes my head spin. I'm grateful for moments like this when they simply play and enjoy each other and want me to enjoy it too.

I know what you mean. Life if going way to fast. I could be a Grandma in 5 years or so. YIKES!!!!! Andy said last night. We have one more Hope of America to go to as we were driving home from Reilly's Hope of America last night. And I said until we have grandchildren. Whoa..... life needs to slow down. I don't want to get old. I miss the playing with blocks and legos stage. Kids are so creative. Maybe I could come over and watch too. We need to tell life to slow down!!!

In a world where playtime creativity often seems to lean towards the highest video game score, this is an absolute joy to behold. And I hope they remember King Benjamin's words too - they are good, worthwhile words.

BTW, thanks re Carly's bread - I'm so glad I didn't miss out! I'll call today if I don't lose my brain in the next few hours ...
