Battle at the Bernard Building

Remember a few weeks ago when I posted about Thad's cardboard armor for the primary activity day? Well yesterday was the day. The activity went really well, Captain Moroni was a hit, and every time the kids spotted the lamanites (Bradon & Matthew) they charged them. Here is Moroni with the fearsome lamanites

Here is a shot of the battle after he's killed one of them.

Then we had the kids make their own shields. Here is Andi and her friend Ali showing off their shields.

Once the shields were finished the kids got to run through the stage while the lamanites threw darts at them. Here's a sweet action shot.

We also got started on our garden this weekend, and are doing things totally differently this year. We really want a mini pumpkin patch, but realized that if we plant pumpkins, that's all that will grown because they will overtake everything in our small area.Especially since we planted "giant pumpkin seeds". So we did some research on hanging gardens and planted strawberries, and an upside down tomato plant. I think it's cute.

 And here is a shot of Sammy's latest accomplishment. Playing in the kitchen sink because he can now push the chairs all over the kitchen.
