I haen't been feeling very motivated to take photos lately after doing my photo class, but I'm slowly getting back into it again. We've made these owl cookies for the past couple years and this is the first year the boys have really kind of known what we're doing and gotten excited about them. They're great for kids because they can put the eyes (M&Ms) and beak (cashew nuts) on and love to see the cookie turn into an owl. Plus Jack loved stuffing his face with the M&Ms. I love doing holiday things! Besides owl cookies we went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday with my sister Lindsay and had a wonderful time,. We decorated our pumpkins yesterday for FHE (we just stick eyes and mouthes on them, cutting up the pumpkin seems like too much work!). On Thursday for Joy School we are making a jack o lantern, so that should be fun too. Next week we are going trick or treating at our neighborhood retirement home and there are a lot of Hallowe'en parties happening on Saturday. It sure is a fun time of year!
I see Julian still has his doggy. That's sweet. I'm glad you do all the fun holiday things with the boys. I didn't do enough with our kids. Traditions are good.
I really liked this one and I just had to share it with you all!!!
"Moral discipline is the consistent exercise of agency to choose the right because it is right, even when it is hard. It rejects the self-absorbed life in favor of developing character worthy of respect and true greatness through Christlike service (see Mark 10:42–45)."
"Because love is the great commandment, it ought to be at the center of all and everything we do in our own family, in our Church callings, and in our livelihood. Love is the healing balm that repairs rifts in personal and family relationships. It is the bond that unites families, communities, and nations. Love is the power that initiates friendship, tolerance, civility, and respect. It is the source that overcomes divisiveness and hate. Love is the fire that warms our lives with unparalleled joy and divine hope. Love should be our walk and our talk." Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God," Ensign, Nov. 2009, 21
"Do not be discouraged because you cannot learn all at once; learn one thing at a time, learn it well, and treasure it up, then learn another truth and treasure that up, and in a few years you will have a great store of useful knowledge which will not only be a great blessing to yourselves and your children, but to your fellow men" (The Discourses of Wilford Woodruff, p. 269).
