Little Artists

Seth and Sarah LOVE to do art! They would do it all day long if I let them. I think it is one of my joys in life too. Watching chubby little hands create beautiful things makes me incredibly happy :)

Sarah coloring after her bath (notice she had to put on her snow white dress before she would put on her pajamas).

Seth drew Sarah and I. Notice I have my hand on my head? He told me it is because I forgot something like I always do....ha ha...the boy knows me well.

Van Gogh better watch his back!

Conference

Our church has a general conference every six months. October is my favorite. It somehow symbolizes the begining of the holidays for me. This conference was so wonderful! Seth and Sarah are finally at an age where they can be reverent during the entire thing! I feel like I got so much out of it. Something I struggle with is having enough "me" time. With three little ones always needing something, I sometimes feel like I am stretched beyond my breaking point. Our Prophet, Thomas Monson gave an incredible talk and in it he talked about enjoying your family because you never know how long you will have with them. I think it is just what I needed to hear. I have decided to spend my days enjoying my children and husband more. If this means I have to stay up a little later cleaning so that I have more time to play during the day, then that is what I am going to do. I feel like I need to focus more on them and less on me. I have only tried to do this for two days and I can already see the difference in my children, they just seem happier.
