Mom & Dad enjoy a Sunday Matinee!

This morning I wanted Carlie and Ethan to work on a goal from their "Faith in God" books. They chose a goal in the "Developing Talents" section that required them to write a play about a gospel principle or God's creations. They REALLY got into this and we thoroughly enjoyed the finished product. They were soo thoughtful and creative about the whole thing that I just couldn't help snapping a few pics!

So they wrote a play about God's creations and Adam and Eve in the Garden. Carlie and Ethan were the narrators and Max and Tatum were the actors. In the first scene, Max is a bear on the land (green blankets) and Tatum is a fish in the sea (blue blanket representing the ocean).


THEN...there was a quick costume change and Max became "Adam" and Tatum became "Eve." The kids even made a tree (complete with a bird and a squirrel running up). They taped a bag of trail mix to the wall to represent the "forbidden fruit."



Max and Tatum ate the fruit and bam...they ended the play with a baby!



And so we all learned that "The Fall" was a good thing because we couldn't have been born without it:)
