Ohhhh, the Joys of a Mom

Great FHE idea:
Been struggling with keeping the house clean and orderly. I showed the kids my temple recommend and told them that there are rules I have to follow to go to the temple. Asked them what they could be. Dan then showed them pictures of Celestial rooms and how clean they were (Daradie loves the SLC and Koen prefers the St. Louis Celestial room). The two kids commented how pretty they were and one said that those rooms made them feel good. We then talked about how Heavenly Father wants our house to be like the temple so we can feel good inside. We need to follow the rules at home to keep things orderly here. It's worked pretty good so far. I accidentally heard one of them say that they want their room to be like heaven. Cute.
---------------------------------------
Daradie: Mom, I need to talk to President Monson right now.
Me: Why?
Daradie: I'm just a kid and I've got something important to say.
Me: What do you have in mind?
Daradie: I know he talks to Heavenly Father a lot and I'm just a kid that doesn't say very good prayers right now and want Heavenly Father to listen to me.
Me: So, you think Heavenly Father only listens to the prophet?
Daradie: No, but he just has more practice and he is the prophet.
