Good Things To Remember

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel!
"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. You have to agree that you are 'less' and that someone else is 'more' to feel inferior. If you don't agree, you cannot possibly feel inferior. You might know something less, or you might be able to do something less, but you ARE unique and hence simply incomparable.... Do not buy into being reduced to an object of comparison."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brillant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." Marianne Williamson

February 19th- February 25th 2012

I actually feel successful! With Activity Days, that is! At the beginning of the year, I came up with a calendar where we rotate doing an activity from the requirements, an Article of Faith and a fun activity. This activity that I was in charge of this week was to be a 'fun' activity. After looking around online, I came up with an idea to have the girls write a letter to a missionary from our ward and then give each member of the Bishopric a 'heart attack.' I thought this could show them that doing something simple but nice for someone is a type of service. We have three missionaries serving from our ward right now so I had the girls choose a paper from a cup for the name of the missionary that they would write. After they were finished with their letters, we split into three groups and made a thank you card for each member of the bishopric. Each group went to one house to decorate the front door with hearts and a sign and left treats and the thank you cards. Then we rang the door bell and ran! The girls LOVED this activity! They were all so excited. I finally left Activity Days feeling as if I had done something worthwhile.

Saturday evening we were just hanging out. Somehow I came up with a brilliant idea to update our hallway bathroom. I found a couple pictures on Pinterest that I loved and wanted to do our bathroom that way. 

I love the wainscoting and hooks in this picture

And the blue paint in this one

Ryan graciously accepted the challenge. Late Saturday evening we headed out to Lowe's to get the supplies. While I got the kids bathed and ready for bed, Ryan started to work on it, but of course it turned out to be a bigger project than I expected. I thought maybe it would take a few hours, turns out it will take a few days!
I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished!!

This is what our bathroom looked like pre-update 


Cute pics from this week...
Ellie LOVES her daddy! And she is getting good at posing for the camera.
Kailee loves to 'do dishes.' She will play for forever in the sink if there are dishes to 'wash'!
