Enjoying the Small Stuff

Like enjoying pudding so much, you just can't help but getting it all over your face,


Or a fort just perfect for reading books, made by opening all of the kitchen cupboards,




Or searching for the "perfect pumpkin," or posing ON the pumpkins,




And trying to lift that perfect pumpkin once you find it,


And teaching your sister to roll the pumpkins instead of lifting them, just like Charlie Brown,




Or deciding it's easier to just pose for a picture with your pumpkin than lifting or rolling it



And then watching in awe as your daddy "one-hands" that heavy pumpkin to the car for you!



We enjoy the small stuff like waking up to the first snow of the season,



And although it is just a dusting we hear Kate excitedly exclaim in a hlaf-asleep voice, "Oh My Heck!" It's the little things like standing on the heater to stay warm as you look out the window at the snow and eat Cheetos for breakfast with your brother.

So super cute! The small stuff are definetely the best things life has to offer. A greater reward that you'll have a fun memory of.

Can't believed it snowed already there...it's been a long time since we've lived in Utah but don't remember it snowing before Halloween?! Crazy.
