Here is our obviously posed, morning scripture reading. In reality mornings rarely look this calm. We had a great goal to finish the Book of Mormon by the end of the year. I can positively say that we won't be reaching that goal--but we made a good effort. :)
What you would see and hear on a normal morning would be me saying "hurry, hurry, hurry", "put your shoes on!" or "the bus will be here soon, you CAN NOT miss the bus!". There would be frantic searches for library books, or permission slips. You would probably hear my youngest boy calling "mommy, moooooommmmmy" from his crib or highchair. You would hear arguing over who's turn it was to read (the older one reads the words the younger ones repeat a few words at a time after I whisper it in their ear). There would be fighting and eventually crying over who got to hold the phone (we have been trying to include my husband in scripture reading by using video call on my phone...sometimes the internet connection there allows it, often times it is a bad connection and we can only hear every other word he says.) You would see someone having a grumpy attitude, someone refusing to participate unless they get to sit in a certain spot on the couch and you would hear us very, very slowly get through 5 maybe 6 verses of scripture.
Our new goal is to finish it by next year, I can't guarantee it though, we have been in Alma for a long, long time.
