Today we took our school work along to another medical appointment at the Royal. I was quite pleased that it didn't take nearly as long as expected so that we could continue our day here at home.
We have had rain off and on but only in little drizzles. I am so thankful when I look outside to see how beautiful and green everything is becoming. We finished our art lesson (making aerodynamic /non aerodynamic planes by using foam shapes) and decided to try and fit in a little gardening while the sun was out. It was really lovely. Joshua's little garden is growing really well (as were the weeds:) We dug the weeds out together while Owen and Rosa had their afternoon naps. It took some encouragement to help Joshua persevere with those nasty weeds... We had a great discussion though on how our lives can become full of weeds and how the Lord wants us to come to Him so that he can help us remove those things that clutter and get in the way of His love for us. How easily I can get tangled in the weeds of worldly stuff and even the daily stuff of life rather than bathe in His love.
Josh and I began decorating our cubby house under the stairs. We made the cardboard wall there some months ago from bike boxes with trap doors to the boys specifications (ie. Dad and Mum can't easily climb in!). After we were given some nice big architectural paper from some friends we decided to glue them to the front and eventually decorate it. So today we did just that. We discussed what sort of a dwelling it should be and Joshua declared it a take-away shop. He thought we should call it "Take N' Go!" We looked up some children's books to get some ideas for decorating. The story page above was our inspiration. We decided to take a before and after photo too... So keep watching for updates!
