It's October 8th and we have officially entered busy time. Macaiden has football games every Tuesday night, getting us home around 8:30pm and having dinner at 9pm. For three nights now he has begged to decorate our Haunted Gingerbread house but we have been too busy. Last night I didn't care what time it was we were going to jam out to some Halloween music and decorate that house! Again, time is fleeting before our eyes. Stress tends to get a hold of us. Getting super frustrated that the house would not stand, I began to laugh. I tried and tried to get the kids to calm down and help them. Pausing to think, "do I want them to get worked up because the house is falling down but we want it to look perfect for our pictures?" OR "Chelsea, laugh about the situation and let them know everything can be washed if it gets messed up and lets just have some fun!" I chose the second option. Yes, pictures are great but they do not need to interfere with memories if they do not turn out perfect. Let those non perfect pictures actually display the memories that are taking place! Laugh and go with it!! We have some past pictures where everyone is smiling but I distinctly remember what was happening before the shot. Not this time! The house challenge was so fun and as always, they like me to post it on social media to take a vote which side of the house is "better." We usually let it stand for a couple of days but since it collapsed after the pictures were taken, we indulged in it! My Repurpose for the day : Allow the pictures taken display the true memories.
