We were reading the scriptures tonight and talking about how in times of war, armies worked hard to fortify cities. "The prophet tells us we need to fortify our homes. Does that mean we should build a big wall around our house?" I asked. Here were the responses:
Jordan: "No, its not a wall, its the spirit and it starts in the middle of our home and makes a big shield that you can't see."
Alex: "Yeah, its like a force field." I could see his wheels spinning and was sure he was remembering the Star Wars computer game he was playing earlier today.
Katie: "Yeah, I don't think that's what its talking about."
I could see the kids minds were very likely running in the wrong direction and added, "so when we are nice to each other the fortification works really well and when we are mean and fight the force field totally does not work." I wish I could have taken a picture of Alex's face. He was staring off into space, no doubt thinking of how our family applied to Star Wars. I love listening to their ideas.

Jordan
Model #1 is in his 12th year. This model works very efficiently and rarely makes exuses about why he can't get the job done. He does however, when questioned, often say he never heard anyone talking to him. Hmmm.
Fuel Source--lasagna, playing football, riding scooter.
Katie
Model #2 at ten years old, is quite the creation. Her emotional database has exceeded the producers plans. We see more excitement, sadness and love from her than from all other models combined. Very friendly, she is easily able to make friends and has quickly adapted to this new culture. Another oddity of this model is the question she frequently asks, "can I go to bed now."
Fuel Source: being with at least one other person AT ALL TIMES
Alex
Model #3 is 8 years old. His highly programmed math and reading data bases continually puzzle his producers. Besides fighting, he also enjoys riding his scooter and giggling.
Fuel Source: projects of any kind, lullabies, answering multiplication questions.

Welcome
This blog is called JUNE CLEAVER only because I had intended to devote all my thoughts to home efficiency. Clearly, home efficiency is less often on the forefront of my mind than other topics. Perhaps 2009 will bring about more home efficient thoughts.
President and CFO
Carl, also known as Carlito, Carlos and Carly, is the president of Cleaver Productions. A very talented man, he spends his spare time acting as General to our cleaning troop, thinking up whopper at-home vacations and playing any game set before him with a promise to ignore everything else going on in the plant. He has skills in barbecuing and other culinary arts and has added to his impressive resume an invitation to golf with an 80-year-old professional lady golfer.

This is by far our busiest model. As indicated in his first year of life producers thought they had programmed this model to relax, be pleasant and quietly observe life. Not so, the only thing he seems to be programmed with is GO. Though not programmed with this ability, his loving associate models have taught him the art of fighting. He seems to have exceeded their expectations.

I love it! I love the things kids come up with.
I loved your story in the previous post. It was a good reminder to me to acknowledge the Lord's hand in my life.
Sounds like a very productive family scripture study to me! I've been thinking of the need to fortify my family so much lately, especially with all that is going on here in California!
I was thinking of Violet Incredible's forcefield. I liket he forcefield idea, maybe I'll use it sometime.
Anytime you can connect the scriptures to Star Wars, they will remember it. :o)
That sounds so cute! ;o) We need to do FHE, but I find it so hard! Especially when my hubby works :o(.
very cute- this sounds like something that would go down at our house
