We have stayed on schedule for the second week of the year! This week's lesson was on Jesus and his many names. We had a rocky start as I found I cannot play the piano/sing/AND proactively encourage everyone to sing. So, after a little "Mommy Time Out" where I did some brainstorming, I found that lds.org has the entire children's songbook in mp3 format. Problem solved! We had a great song to open our lesson and moved on the the short lesson. We talked about nicknames - Robert said his nickname was "Bob" (who calls him Bob???) and Joshua learned that his nickname was Josh, Benjamin's nickname is Ben, Genevieve's nickname is Ginny and Dad says his nickname is "stud." Definitely a must-blog moment.
The kids wanted to color again for the activity, but this week was a puzzle which we glued to another sheet of paper and added to our FHE wall. 
Before FHE, the kids decided to go for a spin ... literally. I think Josh started it by spinning like a top, but Ben and Ginny soon followed (although Ginny's idea of spinning is to run around in a circle with her arms out rather than spinning in place). Ben was the first to fall - and he fell HARD. He jumped right back up and staggered around saying, "I'm alright!" Ginny ran around her circle crying "I'm bizzy!" 
Note: It is really hard to get pictures of three spinning kids!
haha- i just found the children's songbook online as well!
