As a new years resolution we decided we'd like to do better in our scripture study as a family. So Toby and the kids created this poster chart as motivation and to help get us in the routine. It has been GENIOUS. Every 10 or so chapters we get to go out and do something together as a family...and of course the first place they chose was Chuck E Cheese. (Yes I realize that going out to places like this would get crazy expensive and it's a little much but the next outing we did was icecream cones at McDonalds so I'm feeling justified.) We were excited that Grandpa Todd was able to come and join in the fun. I also realize that I don't want my kids to get in the habit of reading the Book of Mormon just so we can do something fun...but my hope is that the kids will truly start to enjoy this time together and realize the blessings that come from it. Which I believe they already have. It's been so cute to have both kids say "Dad can we please read scriptures now? LOVE it. And fyi the 30+ bucks we forked out was totally worth the three erasers, two stickers, and the slinky we won.
