For family home evening tonight, we talked about fortifying our home and family from evil influences, using the Captain Moroni and Title of Liberty story (see Book of Mormon Heroes or the Book of Mormon)...
The activity went as follows:
Matt went outside with a mini Darth Vader (Jackson has a slight obsession with Star Wars) and it was the kids job to fortify our home from this "evil" influence. Matt called up Jackson and Ray from his cell, humming the Darth Vader song (to the best of his ability--love you Matt!) and said Ready, Set, Go. I had strategically opened all the windows and doors. The kids ran around the house in circles shutting windows, locking doors, as Matt would appear with Darth and hum the song...
Darth Vader was unsuccessful and called Jackson to give up.
Result: Jackson had an absolute blast and at the end of FHE thanked Matt for being Darth Vader and for losing...
Reagan will probably have nightmares the rest of her life (even though she always loves the bad guys), might have been a little too much for her...
We all had a blast being together.

We love the FHE lesson idea. We might have to keep that in mind for one day.
