Live In the Moment

And I wish I could remember what we ate, and what we talked about, and how they sounded, and how they looked when they slept that night. I wish I had not been in such a hurry to get on to the next thing: dinner, bath, book, bed. I wish I had treasured the doing a little more and the getting it done a little less” (Elder Ballard’s talk May, 2008 quote by Author Anna Quindlen speaking of her children)

- I put this on here to remind me to take time to enjoy the little things in life, or to enjoy the moments that make some of Life's Precious Memories.

Fruity Play Dough

Here's what we are going to do today. It just looked like a fun recipe and Emily needs something fun to do so she doesn't keep asking for "Nemo". Emily got sick a little while ago, so I wasn't going to potty train then because I was afraid of the mess that would make if she didn't make it. It's bad enough when it's normal. So, we quit for a while and now we're back to it. I've been having Emily watch Nemo while she sat on her potty chair. Meredith is begging for Nemo now as well. It's so cute at the same time it is exasperating. She goes to get her little chair (which is as big as she is almost) and brings it to me crying, "Nemo, nemo, nemo". It takes so much effort for her to carry that big chair (at least for her it is big). So cute. I hope someone else can enjoy this recipe as well :)

1 cup flour
1 package Kool-AidKool-Aid (any flavor)
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup salt
3/4 cup boiling water (the original recipe called for one cup of boiling water, but I found it made the dough too loose- aim for 3/4 cup and add more if needed)

Mix all dry ingredients in bowl then oil, then pour boiling water in and mix thoroughly. Wrap in cellophane or air tight container and store in fridge. The play dough should last a few months.
