Family Night 1/19/15 Fog

 Charades
(The Little Mermaid)


We started our Family Night singing "Nearer My God To Thee"  played by me. :)  I asked Shadrach to take a picture.  So while I was playing he took around 7 pictures.  Trying to play the piano with the flash of a camera going off several times is hard.  It is like a strobe light at German Disco. 
Daddy gave the lesson on Having a Vision ( as in a goal).  He told the story of a women who was trying to be the first women to swim the English Channel.  I forget her name.  I just googled it.  Florence Chadwick .   (You have to love Google.)  We talked about all the obstacles she would face.  Cold water, jelly fish, endurance, sharks, big waves etc...  She stop 1/2 mile away from her goal.  And the reason why she stop was not because any of the reasons above.  She stopped because she couldn't see her goal because it was foggy out.  If she would have seen the land, she would have had enough in her to push through until the end.  We talked about always having a goal with the end in mind so you can have a vision on what you are working so hard for.  Shadrach had just started taking piano lessons that day.  So we talked about what his goal was.  Play for 2 years then quiet?  Play well enough to play at church and serve others?  Practice long and hard enough to do more?
Liam had a little bit of energy.

When he gets tired, he just goes faster. 

He needed a little reminder to sit still.

We played charades as our game.  Disney movies was our theme. 




Ali was acting out Frozen here.

S'more cupcakes was our dessert.

 
UMMMM Ummmm. 
Graham Cracker crust. 
Thick chocolate cup cake with a squirt of marshmallow in the middle.    
Everyone had two :)
