Today I stayed home and sanitized and organized all of the toys, children’s books, and children’s clothes in the house. It took all day. As the day wore on, I heard myself saying ridiculous things like, “Mary, put down that toy!<\/em> I just organized that, and you can’t play with any of your toys until tomorrow!” …But, hours upon hours later, the toys are all disinfected and in their proper places, the books are sorted by color (ROYGBIV), and I have assessed the girls’ wardrobe situations (Mary = clothes galore, Lydia = one outfit away from naked. Okay, that’s an exaggeration, but not by much!).<\/p>\n

\"Mom<\/a>
Mom took a picture of me organizing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Grandma,<\/a>
Grandma, I think Mom took this picture for no other reason than that Lydia’s hair was out of her face. We WILL get her a haircut soon.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"While<\/a>
While I was cleaning upstairs, Mary amused herself downstairs on her new bike.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All the organized books made me want to read to Mary, so we did that for a while. Then I ate too many carbs and indulged in too much Apple Barn fudge (thanks, Mom!)…and then Abe came home and we had dinner. Thankfully, my mom is here and she makes the world’s best salads, so I had salad for dinner. My body was grateful.<\/p>\n

Then we had FHE. My mom had the wonderful idea of cutting up a picture of Jesus holding a lamb into puzzle pieces. We hid the piece with the lamb, and the girls had to put the puzzle together and hunt down the missing piece. Abe then explained to them that just like Jesus loves the little lamb in the picture, He loves us. He explained that whenever we are lost or lonely, we can pray and feel comfort and peace.\"sep29pic12\"<\/a> \"sep29pic13\"<\/a> \"sep29pic11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Mary<\/a>
Mary spent a lot of FHE climbing on furniture.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"That<\/a>
That made her happy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"The<\/a>
The girls climbed across “Daddy Bridge.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\"Then<\/a>
Then Abe doled out horsey rides for the remainder of the evening.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
