Back Rubs
Friday, the kids were rocking and rolling on school, because they had a field trip in the afternoon. During our school day they can "take a 5" which is a 5 min. break to jump on the tramp, relax, whatever it takes to rejuvenate so they can get back to work. Sebastian decided to spend a 5 giving his sister a back rub with awesome, relaxing, classical music he enjoyed so much from his music lesson that he wanted to share with his sister. The kids set a timer so they don't get distracted with their 5 and have it turn into a 20. Well, while Sebastian was waiting for Victoria to get ready for her back rub, his timer went off, and he started crying because he didn't get to give Victoria her back rub. So I of coarse let him turn it into a 10, so he could give his sister a back rub. Tears and all! I love how well they get along and I love their servant's hearts!
Bicycling Atrocity
How sad of a world is this? I came home the other day to find our other vehicle parked in the driveway. I was away working, and knew my husband didn't have to go anywhere. He was suppose to be studying, which is why I was working to begin with. After I pulled in the garage, I went directly to ask my husband why the other vehicle was in the driveway, in case I needed to pull it in, though I couldn't imagine why it was out of the garage to begin with. He said, "Well, the kids wanted to ride bikes so I pulled my car out of the garage so they'd have enough room." We live in one of the most rural as rural can get areas of Las Vegas. Our neighborhood hasn't had any problems that I know of, I'm sure they are out there, I just haven't had to hear about them. Well, I guess my having said that is exactly why, as sad as it is, that our kids are riding their bikes in our garage!
Flowers for Mom and Other Such Sweetness
This isn't the first time, but who knows when the last time will be. Sebastian picked me a flower today from the yard. The other day he picked one and put it behind my ear :) I have the sweetest boy. Adam says that's what makes a ladies man. My prayer is that he will be a one "lady's" man. I know whoever she is, and I am praying for her whoever she is out there, that she will love God and love my son!
I can't believe Victoria is "1/2 way grown" I say this loosely! I don't care how long she wants to stay with us. She is a peach of a girl. Sweet, girly, soft in spirit, and sometimes she's got a little bite to her. Tonight she helped her brother move a twin bed. They tried lifting it back on top of the other twin in his room, returning it to it's rightful bunk bed position. Adam said wow that looks better, funny that was my thought, and we also shared the same, "Wow, that looks better," when we made them two single beds, Leave it to Beaver style. I guess great minds think alike, or change is just down right good sometimes. Whatever it was I let the kids stay up until 10 because they were being so sweet and helpful to each other. It is so nice to witness, just like last week. Adam and I watched them dancing together and singing some of Victoria's voice lesson music. It was so fun to watch, and they were having fun, smiling, laughing, and grabbing arms and dose e doe-ing. That was another night I let them stay up a little later than usual. It seems that the more time they spend together alone the better they get along. It reminds me of the relationship two of my younger siblings share, a brother and sister. To this day he is closer to her than anyone else in our family of 12. I hope my kids can have that kind of relationship :)
