the girls have been working on their articles of faith. Every Sunday they sit with their picture cards and memorize during Sacrament. I really like this because they don't talk or fight with each other- they are too busy memorizing. The incentive to memorize you ask? Well it is due largely in part to my wonderful mothering skills. I have just worked really hard on trying to instill the importance of the articles of faith and how God will bless you if you memorize them. We work on them all week and I simply praise them for their efforts. It's all about the verbal praise. They also get a king sized candy bar from the primary presidency for each one that they pass off which I am sure helps too.
Recently Kirsten passed of #2. Yesterday she went around the house reciting it over and over again. She was setting the table and was blurting out "men will be punished for their own sins and not for Adam's progression!" While playing with Lilly she informed her that "Men will be punished for their own sins and not for Adam's regresion" and last night she walked up to Jim who as on his new computer and said "dad, your computer is way nicer than ours. How come you get to have the nice one? (pause) Dad, Men will be punished for their own sin's and not for Adam's transgression!" and then she just walked away.

But will men be punished for their own sins and not for Adam's manic depression? How about his indescretion? His rap session? I'm pretty excited today because I just found an online rhyming dictionary.
P.S. I'm serious, Tam, your swear-word really does look MUCH smaller post mountainous-molehill removal!
