But also, we just like to be together. This includes playing games, riding bikes, or cooking a meal/dessert.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103993586753057004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-19759432688960903012007-10-01T07:20:00.000-07:002007-10-01T07:20:00.000-07:00Keeping the Sabath is a real challenge.

Visiting folks who could use some cheering is one of my favorites.Lucy van Pelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14781213133147803786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-82635146490081223212007-09-30T20:36:00.000-07:002007-09-30T20:36:00.000-07:00When the weather is nice we go outside.

I know up there in WA the weather is not always condusive to this. We use to visit some older folks in our neighborhood. My kids liked to visit with them. They would spend whole minutes preparing drawings to share with them! Those days Sunday really seamed to fly by, but were very enjoyable. My kids are much happier on Sunday when they are thinking about someone else.Sonjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693007110690293244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-77898973762188359002007-09-30T20:30:00.000-07:002007-09-30T20:30:00.000-07:00Great post!

(This was actually the topic of our combined Priesthood/RS today-solving parenting problems with the scriptures.)<BR/><BR/>My son had a suggestion of his own about Sunday's the other day. Every night we read a scripture story (from the church published picture books of the standard works) and the accompanying scripture verses to go with it. On Sundays, Jordan suggests we read 2 stories, because "Sunday's are special."Jennifer @ Fruit of My Handshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11479983078312955832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-55692365103402025652007-09-30T19:45:00.000-07:002007-09-30T19:45:00.000-07:00We are working on it, too.

That's a hard one when we don't particularly like to wear dresses around here.

We have FHE on Sunday, we like to play games and do puzzles together, go on walks and talk about whatever is on our mind. We also help Keri write and color in her journal on these days.An Ordinary Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497066145696617241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139814941566752118.post-45190092954340616402007-09-30T14:54:00.000-07:002007-09-30T14:54:00.000-07:00No suggestions, we're working on this one too toda...No suggestions, we're working on this one too today. I have whiney children here who want to know why I decided they can't play with their train set on Sundays anymore. We do have calm Sunday (cello!) music playing. That really helps, plus we always watch the MoTab in the morning, and I let them watch as many church videos as they want. I try to do genealogy in the afternoon, but invariably get sucked into other areas of the internet, so I need to work on that. I'm glad I visited your blog today though and read this post. Have a great Sunday!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
