Last night, I had the pleasure of putting them to bed. Adam almost always does it. However, he had a meeting and the responsibility fell to me.
Jack's method of picking a story, is flipping through the pages until an interesting picture catches his eye. So, the story he chose was from the New Testament.I taught them about how Jesus Christ spent 40 days on the earth after he was resurrected. I then talked about how Peter was the President of the Church after Jesus returned to heaven. I further explained how he was kind-of like the "boss" of the church.
Jack then asked, "Does that mean He got to pick the song and prayer?" I had to restrain from laughing. So I calmly answered yes. Maybe that was among his many other responsibilties!?!

I have some very corny jokes about the songs Peter would pick (Rock of Israel, etc.) but I will refraing from disturbing the reverence of your post.
That is so cute! I love the picture of Adam reading the scriptures to the kids. How sweet! I was fun having you over tonight, but it seemed rushed. I guess that just means that we will have to do it again really soon. :)
I really think kids get it. Right now we're teaching Aidan about Nephi - SOME of his comments testify to me the importance of scripture study.
PS - Do you know of any great picture books that goes along with the BOM?
I love it! That is so cute and a story he will love to hear about when he is older. They really "get it" don't they... it is so amazing to me.
If I were boss off the church I would totally forego the song part. I have been a little hymn weary lately.
Jackson LOVES his picture BOM. It's weird to threaten that I will take it away if he doesn't do such and such task.
Hi Meghann! Shanna Miller here. I wanted you to know how much I admire the way you're raising your children. You're a great example of a righteous mom raising her own stripling warriors!
Don't forget to check out my blog too. Or you can add me as a friend on your blog and go from there.
I love that idea for scripture study--letting them pick from the picture books. What a cute picture of Adam and the boys!
