Thought of the Day

Good morning! How is everyone today? In the way of news: I heard the Utah Jazz played quite a game last night. I can't believe we missed it and the Superbowl Sunday night. I understand both games were great, too bad New England lost after such a great season! Things up here in Washington are a lil wet and windy, but nothing like the snow drifts I keep hearing about in Utah. Wow. :) Our dear late Uncle Stan's wife's funeral is today. Please keep his family and Mom in our prayers today. Tyler's teething which is good times for everyone...good times when it's all done. We'll be heading to the church this morning for a playgroup where the theme is tents. They are planning on making tents out of tables and blankets and having snacks. Should be a lot of fun!

Today's thought comes from one of my favorite books "Our Search For Happiness" by M. Russell Ballard,

"Consider for a moment the word understanding.

It's really a simple word, really-one that most of us use every day. But it means something that is quite remarkable. With understanding we can strengthen relationships, rviatlize neighborhoods, unify nations, and even bring peace to a troubled word. Without it chaos, intolerance, hate, and war are often the result.
In other words, misunderstanding."

Yesterday I think there was a patch of ice somewhere on a road and so school was postponed for 2 hrs and therefore am preschool was canceled...again. I was somewhat annoyed, only because McKenna is dying to get back to school. It's been over 2 weeks now. She did find a project for us to do, as she came across the paints and so we did some Fingerpaintings, or rather hand. Painted her hands and let her make some cute lil art work.

She's also really into her shapes so she practiced making circles and then we found some Mickey Mouse Stickers with shapes on them and had a great time plalying with those. I almost felt like a teacher...The other day I actually taught her the song "You are my Sunshine." Wish you could all hear it.

The one with all the different colored hands is my favorite!

She wanted to wear her Cinderella dress but the rule being she has to use the potty, anyway she ended up running around in her underwears for a while and at one point jumped in the toy bin. It's pry encouraging the wrong behavior but it was crackin me up so I had to grab a picture.

Everything they do at this age is cute isn't?
