“What do you do with the drunken sailor?”

So we did end up having Family Home Evening tonight.

Dad made it home for dinner at 7.30pm. We all had finished dinner already, but the fact that he was home before dark is a big deal.

Ernie (he’s 8) gave a great lesson about the keys of Heaven. He read us quotes and scriptures from these key shaped things he had cut out and tied together to look like a bunch of keys. Shuan (10) picked it up later, “I have the keys of Heaven. I’m going to go to Heaven now! Bye!” and he pretended to run into the doorway and collapsed to the ground.

I laughed so hard. Darn it, I don’t want to be a sucker for slapstick!

“Oh no! Give him CPR!” And Han ended up giving him his version of CPR with Shuan standing up which looked more of a combination of stabbing someone with an imaginary knife and the Heimlich maneuver.

Dad was in charge of games tonight. He plugged in his electric guitar, setup some chairs and we played musical chairs. Giggling the entire time as we jigged in circles to “What do you do with the drunken sailor.” I got kicked out at the first round, heh. We went a few times and then the game just went crazy, everyone pulling in extra chairs and joining back into the game. I’ve never had so much fun with musical chairs in my life! Kudos to Dad.

I have the most amazing family in the world.
