"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

The Last Week of Preschool

We got to go on a field trip Tuesday with Nora's preschool. We met at the playground then were given papers with items like leaf, flower, cloud, seed, bird, etc to find on our nature walk. We went on a long walk, found all but 2 items, and had a lot of fun. One thing I have recently observed and, although nowhere near perfect but I'm realizing and trying to be better, is the lack of interaction between parent and child when out and about. I don't want to miss those little moments where we get to connect. They build trust, understanding, and love. I want to build that up in my children. Anyway, we took lunches as well and ate on our picnic blanket and then played for a bit more after we were finished. Packing yogurt was not the right food item to pack for Miss Lexie to eat while at the park. Talk about messy! I used her jacket as a rag. Lol. Thankfully the sun came out for a few minutes so it wasn't that cold at the moment. I didn't take any pictures. We were having too much fun DOING.

Today was Nora's last day of her preschool year. They had a carnival today. It was cute. Games, a bounce house, photo booth, face painting, popcorn, and snow cones. Lexie even joined in on the fun.













Since Nora got a new bike for her birthday, her old bike is now Lexie's. I think Lexie is really excited about it. She only stays on for a couple of minutes, but always comes right back when she gets off.

This cute little face...


And this watermelon-mouth from dinner tonight. Lol!

I also took a picture of Lexie's hand tonight to keep tracking her progress. I supposed it really is getting better, it's just sssssoooooo slow that I'm not sure I will ever be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
