Family Home Evenig Idea

So, I totally had a cool family home evening idea that I wanted to share with everyone:
Basically, it's 'Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader' style, but with scriptures. I just decided to let them pick who they wanted to be 'smarter than', so I'm calling it 'Are You Smarter Than ____". So, here's how it works:

There are 4 categories to choose from:
~ Book of Mormon
~ Doctrine and Covenants
~ Old Testament
~ New Testament

The player picks who they wnat to be "smarter than" and then chooses a category.
I picked one question for each category, for example, in the Book of Mormon category the question is: "What was the object Lehi and his family used to guide them to the Promised Land, (like a compass)?" And the answer is, "the Liahona."
If the player doesn't know an answer to a question, he/she can call upoin the help of the person the chose to be 'smarter than', but if they use this person's help, they won't get the prize, the person will. (Don't ask what I used for prizes, just dinky items I found around the house.)
So anyway, once the player's turn is over, it's a new player's turn, etc.

I found that it was a fun and successful lesson, hopefully you will, too!

Just for the Heck of It

So, today was officially a cool day. You know, normal cool day stuff. Short math homework, simple english homework, wore a cool shirt, the whole cool day shabang. The only thing that makes it even better is knowing that my new furniture is coming tomorrow. I just can't wait! So anyhoo, before you barf because you're so bored, I'll stop. Everyone is cool and stuff... meaning everyone who is reading this... you know, typical Cash goodbye and all that jazz... Okay, I'm shutting up.
