these little faces?
With a bouquet of fresh picked flowers and all.
Hehehe.
Mud Out
At the conclusion of our Creation Introduction in homeschooling I chose instead of starting into the remaining of our year-long session, to have a break day. We had a late night going with Daddy to our old campus ministry where he got the privilege of preaching the night prior. And we decided as a treat to attend the social event afterward, spoiling the kiddos with hot chocolate and a brownie. Consequently, our next morning started a bit slower. And since it was a Friday and a bath day we took a dive…. into the mud.
Now I’m not one to be thrilled about mud on the carpet, in hair, on your nice clothes, BUT I find myself overcoming my own “eww dirt” adultness and letting the kids be dirty kids…. on bath days… before bath. 😉
Needless to say, while the babies took their much-desired morning naps, the big girls experienced the mud… to the full.
It was fun. =)
Wordless Wednesday: Picking
I love how they feel compelled to always pick me flowers when they’re outside.
They don’t know they’re just dandelions
and I hope no one ever tells them,
To them, they are a bouquet of roses.
And I adore them.
Wordless Wednesday: WATER!!!
Fishing.
For hours.
Cold.
Tag-along
Creative.
Necessary Dance Break.
Simple.
Delightful.
Water.

Summer Water
This year as we pulled into the community sprinkler park (FREE!) Rachael and Abi started squealing from the back seat. A smile hit my face… maybe this year will be more interactive. A flashback of last year’s “we don’t do water” instantly looked brighter.
I had to do all I could to keep Abi from running across the street straight to the sprinklers. Rachael jumped in place, her patience and obedience displayed, while I got all our stuff from the car/applied sunblock. (Funny how much goes into a morning of water play.)
We circled the sprinkler pad a few times, soaking it all in. And then Abi let go of my hand and Ms. Assertive was off…
Rachael, Ms. Precautions, close behind her in a moment of boldness.
JUMP!
I love how no matter where we are, they just love playing together.
There also was a park attached to the sprinkler pad so we could dry off with joy on the slide. =)
This time Rachael was the assertive one.
But this one didn’t need a personal invitation. 😉
Ms. Big Sister took it upon her own initiative to make sure Abi’s first trip down the slide was fun and secure. (Precious to watch her care for her little sister.)
Then Abi decided it would be fun to ride on Rachael’s lap.
Sweet sisters.
– We’ll definitely be returning again this summer. =D
