Welcome to family home evening with the Smiths!
"Ok! I'll say it! But Brandon HAS to turn around and sit up first! Sheesh! And Brooklyn! Put your clothes back on and find your seat this instant!"
{insert picture of disgruntled family member saying prayer}
"Now, who would like to pick the opening song?"
"Does anyone want to P L E A S E be the peacemaker...?"
(Note to self: Next weeks lesson, taking turns or... maybe the golden rule)
"Megan you go ahead but you need to put your book away until AFTER Home Evening. No, no, no. You need to put it ON the book shelf not and not under it!"
{insert picture of family singing together in harmony. NOT}
"Well then. We MADE it through the song. Jordan, you may sing a solo since you sang SO low we couldn't hear you"
We can sit here all night long if we must, but yes...we do know that you can sing and we would like to HEAR it.
3 hours later...
Alexis dear, you can wake up now and read your scripture...
Alexis! WAKE UP!
**********
It is now time for the closing prayer. Wifey dear, would you please give us the closing prayer?

Family Home Evening:
The only family fight that begins and ends with a prayer!

That sure brought back memories from my childhood! We used to say the same thing, Family Home Evening was the only family argument that opened and closed with a prayer. Fortunately, my kids aren't that old yet for it to be too bad or last too long (3 hours?!), but I'm sure we'll have our turn. It's nice to know we're not alone. :-) --Tami
Perfect description. I loved it. Mom
Our home evenings don't really last 3 hours. I was just painting a picture of how long it would take Jordan to swallow her pride and actually sing a solo. Three hours was quite conservative I thought. :)
This all sounds very familiar. Wendy
Too bad Mairi and Jordan don't live closer--they could sing a duet since they have the same HomeEvening/Sacrament Meeting laryngitis.
You crack me up sis.
