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.

V for Volcano

It was time to try something new for playgroup. How about someone else hosting? Erin did a fabulous job! I'm so sad that they will only be here for the summer. But, we'll take them for as long as they'll stay. Erin and her two little boys made this awesome volcano for the letter V.

The kids, needless to say, LOVED it!

Here is a video. The kids asked for it again, and again, and again. Then I realized, "Hey, I need to get a video of this." So, for the fifth time around we got a recording of it. They also had the coloring pages for the letter V and a printable homemade book about Volcanoes found on Crayola's website. For our snack Erin made us lava smoothies. We also had vegetables, and letter v's out of rice crispy treats.


Thank you Erin so much for all of your hard work. For next week we're headed for Chuck E. Cheese for the letter "C". I'm so excited!

Jennifer, What did she use to make the volcano? It looks like clay.
