It’s a snowy day today! It’s also a Martin Luther King Day so the kids are out of school. We did some cleaning in the basement for a few hours and the kids were playing their video games for the rest of the day until it’s time for family home evening. Finally I got started with my scrapbooking again. I made a page today Andrew’s 18th month studio pics. It’s been a while since I did a scrapbook page and I’ve been behind. Hope I can keep up with it but there’s a lot to do everyday. Anyway for our family home evening we did the Book Of Mormon basketball to see how much the kids know about the Book Of Mormon. Questions was asked, and if the answer is correct the kid will score 2 points. They will also have the opportunity to increase their score by shooting a basket. JR got the most points then Johnathan. I gave them chocolate bars for their prizes.
Andrew had fun playing with the baskets and balls. I asked the questions while Russ was the judge who raised their hand first. Here are some of the questions I asked..
1. How many times did Moroni visit Joseph Smith the night Joseph was told about the Book Of Mormon? Three
2. How many Book Of Mormon witnesses denied they had seen the Book Of Mormon? None
