Family Home Evening

I hate a love/hate relationship with family home evening.  I know it's something that we have been challenged to do, and I know what a difference it can make in our home when we are consistent with it.  But some days... the kids just make it so HARD to want to spend another minute with them.  How terrible am I for admitting that??  But you know those days... the ones where they have spent every second arguing or screaming and I've had a bad day and Shaun's in a crummy mood, it's seriously the last thing in the world I want to do.  And sometimes I bag it.  I shouldn't but I do.

I didn't tonight though.  It was actually a good one.  We found these books a while ago called, "Who's Your Hero?" and my kids LOVE them.  It makes FHE go much smoother when I just use one of the stories in it.

This was the end result tonight... silly kids with smiles and crazy eyes.  THESE days make me grateful that not all the days are like THOSE days.  If you know what I mean.
