peep stories

With four boys running the show around our house, there is a constant buzz of energy flowing through the air leaving a trail of light sabers, guns and destruction. 

Family night is no different. My peeps have been busy.

It was Peep Stories family night.  The goal was to choose a scene from the scriptures and capture it using peeps, frosting and any other prop that would help tell the story.

We went to work….

Of course the most violent stories were chosen, (I plan to make the rule that no story can be duplicated so next year we see less frosting blood and horror).

Above we have  DC and our (soon to be) uncle and brother-in-law creating the scene of Joseph Smith’s martyrdom.  They gave their play by play of the event. 

Here Z-man and dad shared the story of Ammon.

The king is pleased with Ammon’s desire to serve him and decides to appoint him as one of the servants who watch his sheep. Wicked Lamanites would scatter the flocks of the king's sheep and that would make the king angry.  To protect the sheep as well as his own life, Ammon used his sling and stones. When the wicked Lamanites tried to kill him, Ammon would cut off their arms. The other servants were so astonished that Ammon was not killed and that he was also able to resist all the evil men that came to hurt him, so they shared what had happened with the King. Through that experience Ammon was able to teach the King the gospel.

Nothing was more exciting then the story of Abinidi and King Noah.

After Abinidi and Alma testify the truthfulness of the gospel to the wicked King Noah and his judges, King Noah refuses to listen and later is burned at the stake by his own people.

We had our own burning. 

Who was having more fun?

“DC, let me show you another use for nail polish remover.”

We certainly love the teachings of the scriptures, and hold them in the highest regard.

Next year Z-man plans to do the scene of Moses leading the Israelites out of Egypt and Ajax wants to create the scene of Helamen’s 2,000 warriors. They obviously realized the more peeps in their scenes leaves them with more peeps to eat.

Peep out!
