I am a computerless woman! My new computer should be here any day, but for now I only get to check email and such in the evenings when Travis brings home his work computer. I hate not being able to google or look up a thought during the day. I didn't realize how much I do this until access to the internet was gone. So I will post pictures once I get my new computer.
Our FHE topic for this month is Charity and Love. On Monday after talking about love I presented a Love idea to the kids. Each of them would receive 6 "i love you" hearts. They are to use these hearts this week to do something nice like make someones bed, put someone elses shoes away, clean up some toys etc... and then they leave one of their hearts behind. At first I was going to make the hearts out of paper, but I found some really cute 6 inch foam hearts in a pack of 30 at walmart and figured making them out of something sturdier we could reuse them each year. I then used a fine point black pen to write "i love you" on each one. They turned out really cute! It has been so fun to see how excited the kids have gotten over the idea of doing nice things. Today Noah cleaned up Bailey's messy room. He even set up her doll house putting all of the furniture in the right place. He then left his heart displayed in the doll house! Bailey tidied up the boys room and left a heart. Zach made my bed (which really ended up being made already, but he cleared off everything else that was on it and put it in a pile on the floor. Hey...it's the thought that counts!) I love seeing my kids doing nice things for each other!
I also got a new camera!! It is a SLR Canon Rebel. My head is just swirling with new terms. Aperature, shutter speed, IOS....I can't wait until I understand how to use it to it's fullest and take some great pictures! I have always wanted to learn and I am just thrilled that now I have a chance!
I promise to catch up with pictures soon!!

Once the Stake Pres. Challenged us to go a weekend without using any power to see if our emergency supplies were adequate. The hardest part for me was not using the computer. Joe actually had to cheat after a day because it was so hard!! I love the heart idea. As always you are so full of wonderful ideas! I'm also way jealous of your new camera!!
When are we having a camera/Elements party with Katie? I have the same camera as you so if you need any help just holler.
Oh, I'm so green! That is the camera I want!!!
You are so awesome! I got to sit in your lesson on Sunday and thought it was so great! You should do a weekly, spiritual Sunday blog post! I've been in Primary so long it was so nice to be in Sunday school! So, thanks!!!
What a great idea with the hearts! We always did that same kind of idea around Christmas, but I love the Valentine's Day/FHE topic tie in! I know what you mean about computers -- I didn't realize how much I depend on it (addresses, definitions, even scriptures!) until it wasn't working! Hope yours comes soon!
