Needed: Silly Words

... to write on Katelin's back. Katelin loves:

1. Having her back tickled
2. Getting re-tucked into bed multiple times
3. Silly words

We've created a new tradition... write silly words on Katelin's back a few minutes after she is tucked in (the first time) as a reward for lying still in bed. I could use some suggestions. Tonights silly word was:

TOE-JAM

Any other ideas??

Creating

I can't say enough how much I loved President Uchtdorf's talk in General Relief Society Meeting (you can find it here) and the emphasis he placed on finding happiness through creating and compassion. So here are a few of the creations from my house that are bringing a little joy to my heart.I've been wanting to make whole wheat pizza (loaded with veggies) for a while now. It felt so good to do it, though it still needs a few improvements.

A few preschool supplies. Prepping for 6 preschoolers is surprisingly fun and flashes me back to my teaching days. There isn't a lot of difference between preschoolers and adolescents.

Katelin's hay "H" was a nice creation, but the big deal was her name written on the bottom of the page! She can write it if I tell her the letters.

I love Katelin's mini-buns! It's a succes when she lets you comb her hair. I love Seth's do too!

Trev created the perfect spot for cuddling and vegging!

More vegging and snuggling.

Seth just does a great job of creating smiles and laughter.

Life is so sweet (especially when you remember the good moments).

Hot Diggity Dog!

I admit, we're a little late for trick or treating, but here it is anyway!


Seth gets the award for the most creative costume at our house this year. Sorry Katelin, but princesses are a dime a dozen.



This is Rapunzel turned Ariel. A last minute switch.



Trevor's attempt at "Joe the Plumber". I'm just being a Mom this year.

Recipe for a perfect morning...

You'll need one little chimi and "the big guy"

Add a few toys and a dash of pretend.

Finally, add a little something to chew one.

Bake as long as everyone stays happy!!
