Happy MLK DAY!

Since it was a "holiday" from school

AND...

the plans we had made with some other families got cancelled, due to the stomach flu (Colton got it early Sunday morning) and the rain

AFTER my drs. appointment (I DO NOT have gestational diabetes-YEAH!)

was through--I came home and started the whole process of baking, rolling, cutting, and icing sugar cookies (my Grandma Roths...from scratch, recipe) WITH THE KIDS!

OF COURSE , they ALL loved it-hands on!

OF COURSE, it made a HUGE mess

AND OF COURSE, it took a majority of the day in different shifts to FINISH!

(think we got a little carried away with sprinkles and candy hearts?)

and OF COURSE, we all ate too much sugar that day and eve

Guess what our FHE treats were that night?

That night we had our traditional Martin Luther King Family Home Evening.

This time, we got to listen to the actual radio broadcast the day he passed away.

We also got to listen to some of his accomplishments
AND talk about being bullied, how to react, how do we treat others that are different then us...etc.

Overall, it was a pretty successful day despite the weather and sickness!

(the boys are really into drawing portraits of people after Sterling's art class focused on it-here is a Colton creation from our FHE lesson)
