FHE- maybe not tonight!

Tonight was family home evening. It was a crazy one so I had to blog about it! My three almost four year old decided she wanted nothing to do with family night. She kept telling me " I'm just not ready and I don't want to do it " Summer Lynn showed us her rebellious side as she stomped out on to the deck proclaiming her lack of interest in FHE. I said ok Summer you can just wait on the deck. We then opened the window and sang Popcorn Popping as loud as possible to make sure she heard it ( her favorite song ) followed by a prayer by her sister blessing her to please come next time. Shouldn't I be dealing with this in ten years when she's 14?????? Anyway, long story short Ember my 20 month old starting throwing a fit, summer had a melt down and Malia wouldn't stop doing hand stands and cart wheels!!! So I gave my husband a one minute lesson on following the Prophet out of the April friend magazine :) I'm sure he appreciated it. I sat there wondering if any of my kids got one thing out of the whole experience. It was just crazy and now that I look back pretty comical. One of those times when you had to be there. Oh well I guess i get a E for effort right?
