If Travis or I do not feed the kids fast enough in the morning (or any time of the day actually), Gina will get the container of oatmeal down and bring it to us! "Wont oak-meel, Mom...." It is so cute and pathetic. It sure makes you feel kinda bad too - like she's some urchin child begging for food (her rat-so hair only adds to the effect as well!)
Yesterday, Mary was bugging Travis all morning to make her a box - so he did out of cedar wood. Well making one box is not that smart - you need to make 4 if you are going to make 1! Luke was in tears about
not having a box. Well Daddy had to go to work and the box would have to wait. So this morning Luke was up before all the kids, on the porch waiting for Daddy to come back from riding the horses. "Daddy, can we make my box now?" So another cedar box was made. He carried it around all day, even in the car. He put cotton balls in it.
As homeschool was winding down today,the kids just naturally dove into their artistic sides - Luke and Gina were drawing a jungle picture on the white board, Mary was constructing hats out of paper plates and cotton balls and Jane was pretend cooking with my pots. So I suggested that she could make something for real! Jane made her first baked creation - Kids' Dump Cake. It turned out very good! We ate it for treat after Family Home Evening. She also learned how to run a load of laundry. She felt very empowered ! "I can bake! I can do the laundry! I can change a poopie diaper! I can do a lot of things!" : ) I love my Jane. I am very proud.
