What I mean is, we actually had a quite successful family night tonight. You know the kind where gospel principles are taught and the attention span lasts the whole time? I prepared a lesson about missionaries and what we can do to be missionaries now and how to prepare for a mission. And we also talked about supporting the missionaries who are serving right now. Then we put together a package for Darrin's cousin, Taylor, who will be leaving the MTC soon. We wrote letters and drew pictures too. Then, we took cupcakes and a welcome card to the non member couple who moved in across the street. When we got home, the kids decorated their own cupcakes and snarfed those before heading off to bed. Aaaahhhh. It's always nice to have a few successes every once in a while.
Chips & salsa, Pringles, and fruit gushers...what??? All the food groups will be represented when he washes it down with a glass of milk ;0)
Taylor and Drew at his farewell...er, I mean missionary talk!p.s. I found this today when I was preparing: you can go to www.lds.org/churchmusic and find a song from the hymn book or children's songbook and play it from your computer!! I am very excited about this since we don't own a piano and I get tired of the whole accapella business. You can even change the key and tempo. It's great!

I have an opening on the 14th if that works for you. Let me know. Did you want to do it with a backdrop or outside? I do backdrops in the morning and outside in the evening.
