Mother's Group

Friday some mother's in our mother's group planned a really fun activity. We played various games, had a picnic, and then fed the ducks. Kinsley had a blast. Her favorite game was the Easter Egg Relay. She has asked me a few times to put water in a bucket so she can play at home. Instructions....

1. Scoop egg with a ladle

2. Walk very slowly so the egg doesn't fall out

3. Stop to smile and say "cheese" to mom

4. Dump egg in a different bucket

5. Run back, as fast as your legs will take you

Eric's school was canceled Wednesday and Thursday because of a power outage (we had some nasty storms come though here). Friday he only had one class so he ended up surprising us and spending time with us at the park.

Sister Marjorie Hinckley

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
