I will definitely agree with Grandmother about how nice these past few days have been. I sat outside for a few hours yesterday just reading and enjoying the view. Miki was chasing some birds and you could hear the frogs singing. GJ came in just for the day so he sat outside with me and read also.
Darla, I'm glad to know you made it back in one piece! I hope your luggage shows up as well. Please tell the kids I said hi and I love them.
I thought I'd share a cute story with you fine people. I babysit a group of 6 kids on Tuesday at our church so the women can enjoy their Bible study. These kids are great and keep me on my toes- never a dull moment! Oh, did I mention that they are all under 5?! Well, today Landon (he's 4) gave me a run for my money. I was changing two of the babies diapers and when I looked up, Landon was standing in the little plastic wading pool, which is in the corner of the room. He was stark-naked! And I was in shock! I asked him what he was doing and he told me that he was just taking a bath so he HAD to take his clothes off. I tried to explain to him that this was not appropriate at church and he needed to put his clothes back on. He said they wouldn't go back on. I insisted that they would =) ! You get the picture. After we got him dressed, I told him that pretending would be a good idea. He could pretend that he was taking a bath, but he definitely had to keep all his clothes on. About 30 minutes later, all the kids were playing and I was helping a couple of girls build a mall when I heard Landon shriek, "I'm NAKED!". Furtively, I glanced over to the wading pool and yelled, "Lan-DON!?". Thankfully Landon jumped up fully clothed and yelled, "I'm Pretending! I'm Pretending!". It's always good to laugh and little kids can usually be counted on to get you there. Well, I didn't tell Landon's Mom because I didn't want to embarrass her, but maybe she needs a smile too.
I hope everyone has a great day!
Love to all,
Sherlyn
