I feel like February has been a very busy month for us, filled with birthdays, projects, church callings, etc. As much as I was trying to make things good for my kids, I was just really busy and not paying attention to them.
When President's Day rolled around I thought, "Great, a day off to do something fun with the kids." As the day progressed, I realized that wasn't going to happen. Gavin went sledding with friends, Enoch was busy with his science fair project and I needed to run to the store for some essentials. By late afternoon I was feeling guilty that nothing fun had happened at home.
I decided that I could still salvage the day. Enoch, Kate and I went downstairs and built a Lincoln Log town. We talked about how Presidents Washington and Lincoln lived in log cabins. I tried to remember all the stories I could about these two men and told them to the kids. We had a great discussion on honesty and loyalty.
It was only about 30 minutes, but it was great. Why don't I do that more? We had fun, learned something and spent time together. Perfect.

Super MOM-Kids are lucky. Remember
Essential--Things to live Eternally.
Necessary--Things needed to live.
Nice--Things nice to have or do.
These are the things our stake are working on right now, tough choices in today's world-but things with the family are Eternal.
LOVE DAD
You are amazing tresa. Your kids will never lack in affection or time spent with family. You are an example of how I want to be with my kids.
You are learning lessons that I'm not sure I ever learned. That is one thing I really admire about you. You are constantly working to make life better for you and your family. What a great mom!
