On Monday we had a lesson about the Word of Wisdom. It was inspired by the constant begging for sweets. The kids needed it and I needed it perhaps the most. So we talked about what to feed our bodies and how to take care of them. We talked about the blessings associated with living the principle and we decided to make a stronger effort to be more grateful by eating a little healthier.
This included a new goal of morning family exercise. Yesterday and today we walked around the perimeter of the 1.7ish acre property. Three times around is about a half mile, I think. So we started first thing once everyone was awake. We walked together, ate a healthy breakfast and got ready for school/work. We also got all this and our scripture reading done with plenty of time to spare.
Obviously we looked a little stange walking around the house some still dressed in our pajamas and tennis shoes, so Damian, who saw us from his house, asked Aaron what we were doing. Then this morning when he saw us again he shouted out his window "Word of wisdom, yay, yay, YAY!" The kids kept repeating his phrase as we walked. It was so cute.
Mary and Noah decided to run and beat us back inside. They ran an extra lap too. When we arrived at the house this was the sign they left for us on the step leading to the porch:
This is going to be a fun summer.
And by the way, my allergies have almost completely left...halleluiah. I didn't have them at all in California and it's heavenly being able to breathe, see, and not feel tired.
