Family Home Evening Failure...??

I know that the blog says to add fun family things INCLUDING family home evening ideas(preferably that go over well), but I thought I'd share why I really thought to start this blog...
After recieving a phone call on monday, from my friend Brooks, I was inspired to do family home evening that night. So I got out my book and found a lesson that I thought my 2 year old might understand. It was on Prayer. this is how it went...
Me: "ok guys it's time for family home evening"
Matt: "I thought we were going to go get your glasses?"
Me: "I thought that we could have FHE instead tonight"
*my wonderful husband MUTED the TV, yes we really don't want any distractions.*
Me: "We are going to talk about prayer."
Madie:"But I'm skating."
*as she pushes the tin lunchbox arround the floor with her foot.*
Me: "Madie do you know who we are praying to when we pray?"
Madie:"Jesus"
Matt: "Yeah, sort of, we pray to our Heavenly Father and Jesus."
Me:" How do we start to say a prayer?"
Matt:"Dear..."
Me:"Dear...who, madie?"
Madie: "um.. I'm busy"
* as she continues to push her tin lunch box.*
Me: "Dear Heavenly Father. and after we do that we tell Him thank you for all that we are thankful for like our homes and our families"
Madie:"And glue!"
Me:"yeah we can be thankful for glue, so we can do fun art projects together. And then wen we are all done telling Him thanks for all that we are greatful for we can ask Him for special blessings like what? What can we ask Heavenly Father for?
Matt:" Maybe we can ask Him to help us to have a good nights sleep. Madie what can you ask Heavenly Father to help you with?...Madie, name one thing that you can ask Heavenly Father for..."
Me: Madie I'm going to take that lunch box away."
Madie:"It's not a lunch box, it's my skate, I'm skating!!"
Me:"Maybe we could ask Heavenly Father for Patience and to help us to be kind!"
Matt:"Yeah, like she'll understand that!"
Me: "I would ask for patience! not her. this is frusterating! And then we say amen! the end! FHE is over.
*matt knows I'm over reacting and dosent say anything...prob trying to keep from laughing at how upset I got. *
*I left the room, thinking, "that was a huge success, why do I even bother?"*
A few minutes later madie and Daddy come into the room...
Matt:" Madie tell mom how you say a prayer,... get out your paper.."
Madie*as she opens up some ramdom paper she found on the floor*
"Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for family and glue, please bless that we can sleep and bless mommy that she wont be flustlated (frusterated) (I looked at matt and smiled). Amen.
Me:"Good job Madie!! That was a GREAT prayer! ....See matt she's smarter than you think, she prob. understood what patience meant too. :)

Eventhough I thought that this FHE was a pointless mess, Madie still picked up what was being taught, even if she did pick up on a few "other" things :)
And that my friends Is why I started this blog, so I could have lots of different ideas of things to do with my family. My husband dosen't want to do lessons all the time, he wants to do fun activities together.
....So bring on the FUN!!
