Sunday Afternoons

On the same Sunday as this one, I was trying to think of things for the boys to do to keep them busy. I gave them all a piece of paper and told them the had 15 minutes to draw a picture of something they learned at church or a story from the Book of Mormon or Bible and when they were done I would try to guess what it was. Palmer drew this picture of Ammon (the link is to the Children's Illustrated Book of Mormon), defending the flocks of King Lamoni (if you didn't click on the link and aren't familiar with this story, Ammon is a missionary and is defending the King's sheep from people who are trying to steal them. They try to kill him and the other servants he is with and he ends up cutting off all of their arms...you can see the appeal to Palmer right?) Anyway I was just laughing at the stack of arms and the one armed people in the background. Palmer worked on it for about 30 minutes and was very proud of it.
This was Hunter's picture. It was of him and Jesus. I am not sure which of them is the blue guy. Lincoln lost his by the time that I took this picture, but his was of David and Goliath and it was so good.  I always love to see what my kids draw, it gives me a little window into their minds and what they are thinking.
