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.

Halloween Party Pinata

The girls enjoyed the pinata that was at the party. Emily enjoyed taking a wack at it, and then the girls discovered the candy afterwards. Emily wanted to just get all of the boxes (nerds). I'm not a really big fan for 3-year-olds and 1-year-olds with candy and even less of a fan with candy that makes bigger messes (ex: nerds). So, I started pointing out other candy to her.

Meanwhile, Nathan had Meredith. He told her to pick it up and put it in her bag. She was doing it like she was just cleaning it up. Then we went inside and Meredith saw someone eating candy, so she ran over there. It took Nathan a little bit to show Meredith that there was candy in her bag, and as soon as he did, she took her bag and dumped the contents on the floors to eat the candy. So cute.
