Princess sleepover

Pizzas, popcorn & juice, & Princesses. After dinner we had a lesson from the Hermana Missionaries. We talked about how we come from a Heavenly Father that is a King making us princesses. We decorated crowns and made a gigantic glittery mess in my house.

Afterwards it was play time in the pool. A bunch of rowdy, squealy girls were pretty much emptying my pool out. haha!

The Princess diaries was the movie of choice. Since we had a theme going.

The adults really enjoyed the movie… the girls ended up singing and playing in the play room. But hey it was their sleepover. I went to bed around 11:30pm, leaving the other two adults to suffer… sleep nearby the girls. I was told they ended up going quiet around 4am. But bright and early at 7am girls were up and giggling. I got up and made blueberry pancakes. We put on another movie as we waited for parents, turns out they weren't as interested in the movie and wanted to play in the dress up. By 11am the last girl left and my house was cleaned and quiet. ahhh…

I am so grateful to be the Primary president and to be able to have activities like this for these kids. They are making memories, building relationships, and growing their testimonies. These girls are our future leaders, and future moms.

The Articles of Faith Challenge

So when I came in as Primary President I wanted to encourage the kids to memorize the 13 articles of faith. So I bought a giant candy bar and promised everyone who memorized all 13 would get one.

For Faith in God activity night I designed this little handout. I saw the idea to do a sundae somewhere I can't remember the site, but I did the handout. As the kids passed off articles of faith they were able to receive the below

The kids had so much learning the articles of faith, with such an amazingly delicious motivation how could they not. I didn't expect them to memorize all 13 in an hour. So they were all able to make the kind of sundae they wanted. But they will not get the giant candy bar til all 13 are memorized. This was just a motivational activity. It was so much fun. I thought the nursery was the best calling but I have to say this calling is the best in the world.

I love these kids so much!!

I love being able to teach them gospel. I want them to remember me when they are teaching their own children, that Sister West helped them memorize the articles of faith with

So in an effort to stay cool I try to find new and fun projects and activities to do with the kids that come and play at my house. Today we made toilet paper roll butterflies...and pipe cleaner sunglasses. The kids had a blast.
