Evan had the lesson last night. I asked him what he wanted to teach on and he couldn't think of anything so I had him think of something he heard in Conference. He remembered they talked about service, so he wanted to do something for service. We had just finished, about two weeks ago, a game called "the biggest looser" which involves service, pennies and prizes. So he was worried that we had already done service. So we talked about it and came up with this service race. We picked four tasks, one for each member participating, and each person would work on that task for two minutes then we would yell "SWITCH" and the family would rotate tasks. It was pretty fun and we learned a couple of valuable lessons: 1. Service doesn't have to take a long time, and 2. when we work together as a family we are AWESOME!! We got the dishes done, the floor swept and mopped, the laundry put away, and pictures of it all!! It only took us 8 minutes!!
Here are some pictures of the "race".

What a great idea! I like the idea of sharing the work load at least for one evening :) And I cannot believe how big the twins are getting. How fun!
