Another Celebrity Sighting and Primary Fun

We walked out of our apartment Friday morning, around the corner, and there at 42nd and 9th was Ice-T and that other guy from Law and Order SVU filming a scene. It was quite exciting, especially for me who grew up in a home where Law and Order and CSI were very popular shows!
So here is a recap of people we have seen during our stay in New York: Ice-T and that other guy from Law and Order, Hoda Kotb from the Today Show, and Barry Williams from the Brady Bunch.

On to more spiritual matters . . . .
I am teaching Sharing Time tomorrow in Primary. The theme is "My Family Can be Together Forever Through the Ordinances of the Temple". Above is my handmade handout (we don't have a printer) . . . don't worry I will make copies at the church! Here is the plan: I will hole punch a hole at the top of the handout and put it on a piece of string. I will then talk about my family and put a Froot Loop on the string for each member. I will then tie the string at both ends and explain to the children that just as the circle I have made has no end, through Heavenly Father's plan and the ordinances of the temple our families can be together for eternity. I will then have them get with their classes and make their own necklaces and talk about each member of their families. I also thought they could write the names or draw pictures of each member on the back of their temple, as I have done below:

It is not the most accurate picture of everyone, but I did my best!
