Another Beautiful Day!

Happy Wednesday! Hope yall had a beautiful day! We sure did. It was overcast and a bit humid here, but it was nice! Not to hot. I did some more spring cleaning and reorganizing things today. I did each of the girls chests. The cleaning brings me to ask a question here. Kids see things advertise and so on, all the time. They make all the marketing to bring us in and buy their perfect cleaner, but has anyone else had this issue? There are so many cleaners with the lemon scent, so what appears on the lable, but a picture of a lemon. Well since we eat lemons and drink lemonade, guess what? Lil E was sure, we clean with lemonade too! So all these cleaners are to her, but a form of lemonade. We were in Wal Mart earlier this week, and I had to explain to her, no, that is a cleaner with a lemon scent. We never drink them, they are poison! And I think I have it clear to her, and guess what she does today. No it's not that bad. But I'm in the restroom, and where does she go? To the refrigerator! You know what she got out? Lemon Juice! Now here is the kicker! She pours it on her play kitchen and on her foot and leg. When I say to her, "Oh sweetie, E, what are you doing?" She says "Mom, I poured it on to make it all clean and shinny! See My leg is going to be really shinny!" So this was not a danger, and I keep all our cleaners, under child lock. But it really made me think, are we making cleaning and other advertisement so appealing that innocent Children could be harmed? So what do you think?

Then we went outside for some fun time! I just love watching the girls play! Lil E was showing Lil K how to run after the bubbles! Lil K loves bubbles, but she doesn't normally chase after them, like big sis. But today changed that. Lil E had her running after with much excitement and teaching her to catch and pop the bubbles!


Oh my, look at the excitement!

It was time to make dinner. As I start to prepare, I get into my pantry, and of course, nothing is in place. I simply say, "Why do yall love rearranging my pantry?" and my precious Lil E says, "Because that is what kids do." I couldn't contain it. I had to laugh. I was like it sure is! Then after dinner tonight, we went back out for a bit, and took our friends a treat, Carrots! Oh they sure love to see Lil E with a special treat! Here is Pretty Girl and Buddy! Aren't they beautiful? It's funny, as Buddy will eat and eat and eat, but Pretty Girl, not so much. Everyone once in awhile, she will take a treat.

Buddy is always so gentle. He really loves Lil E. Just look, I love this picture of them kissing! Super sweet! She loves that horse!

There's another day in our life here at home. I'm so thankful for this opprotunity that I am given, the one to be here each day and teach them, and watch them grow. I to see them learn new things and grow up. Lil E has decided to tell her sister, "K you can't do that, you have to what until you are big grown up like me, or all grown up like mommy and daddy. You are only little grown up!" It cracks me up! Makes me laugh so hard! Then I can't help but reflect on myself, and think, I'm not really grown up at all. I have many more years to learn and grow! I need to grow even closer in my walk with Christ, and need to grow years more of experience and knowledge. I want to know more than I do now, I want to become a better person. I love the process of growing, maybe that is why I love watching the children grow so much! I'm sure I have rambled on enough for yall today.

Hugs and Blessings,
