Sun Shine IN, Wasp and letter F
The kids and I were in the kitchen. They were sitting at the table, I was making lunch. I started singing.. like I usually do. The song was "let the sun shine in.. face it with at grin... blah blah.. open up your heart and let the sun shine in".. so there I was singing.. kids looking at me listening to the words. When I was finished.. Nate says in a most profound tone.. "MOM>. if you open up your heart you will die!".. .. well of course this led to a conversation as to how we have two hearts, I asked and the kids answered "your body and your heart that's part of your soul." I was like "wow!" pretty cool answer.. Later we were discussing it again and I asked Jo and Nate.. which is more important.. the body and its heart or the soul and its heart.. both answered.. "the souls heart" (AHHHH what a blessing to be around these precious kids!)
(Story #2)
I was out front watering the yard and Jo walks outside with the letter F encyclopedia.. He says: "Mom, can you help me?.. I am trying to find FISH .. I found the letter F but I cant find FISH in this thing anywhere!" .. I said.. sure.. (putting down the hose).. as I was searching I asked.. why are you looking for FISH.. he said.. "Cause I wanted to know about the fishes eyes.. why they work better under water than ours do." .. (ok.. I think.. wasnt expecting that to be the answer..).... so sure enough under FISH was a section on eyes.. I read the section .. he said.. "thanks" and took the book back into the house. I must say.. I was so happy that Jo had a question and new where to look for the answer.. the 10.00 I spent on the encyclopedia set was WAY worth the money. ( If you are wondering how I got a virtually new world book set for 10.00 .. check out your own library's annual book sale.. No one buys encyclopedia sets anymore!)
Story #3)
So here I was sitting talking to my sweet friend K on the phone when Cat runs in on the verge of tears.. says "MOMMMMMM... I got bit by a wasp!!!!!!" ... OH NO! .. She was across the street playing in the neighbors front yard while daddy was working in the garage when she got stung on the hand while swinging in the swing. Now can I tell you how impressed I was with my sweet daughter.. she is in pain and crying but as she said "Mom, my adrenalin was going and I just held my hand tight and ran home.. of course I looked both ways before I crossed the street!" .. I was so proud of her .. what great self control that showed.. she held back the majority of her tears until she reached Mom, .. uh.. my little baby girl is just growin up!
as for me.. well.. same oh thing around here.. working out.. (havent missed a workout in 5 weeks!!!!!) .. and still behind on laundry. I will tell you it is now official.. I am OFF BEEF.. did you hear.. Mad COW.. oh and the same night I had brisket and chips.. UHG>> ... K.. so back on the Veggie diet for me...
Well I am off to bed.. I am hoping tomorrow I can get some more work done on the mural I STARTED in the kids room. It is going to be a country seen on three walls, and sky and clouds on wall and ceiling and the outside of a rustic cabin on the other wall.. I would like to have it finished by the fourth but well see.
And can I say I am SOOOOO thankful to be at home. The stories about the kids above are what I would have missed if I wasnt here... its too special to miss.. They are only young once. I am definitely Blessed to be HOME!
