Pretty Sarah’s pretty blankie got pretty dirty so she had to put it *in there* to get washed!
I think we had a pleasant morning, regardless.
Except when Seth got a little too close for comfort.
Speaking of Seth. He did the cutest thing at church yesterday. Rich was asked, spur of the moment, to help pass the offering plate. Before I could do anything, Seth got up and followed his dear Papa down the aisle as the church family all snickered at his adorable-ness.
He also did something today that made me very happy; he went #2 in the potty FINALLY after weeks and weeks of potty training. I gave him 10 chocolate chips for his success, and we called Papa at work to tell him. These are the days when my husband doesn’t know what to expect when he gets a call during the work day. *smiles*
I miss him today.
It’s that time of year again, SPRING is for-certain in the air. My friends and I have been bitten by the “spring cleaning” bug (you, too?) and ladies take bags of things to church to try to pass off to other families. (I have had to learn how to politely refuse, LOL). I cleaned the basement storage room today and threw away 3 bags of old stuff and garbage.
After lunch, I took Seth and Sarah outside for some fresh air. We collected half a dozen beautiful eggs from the coop.
It is about 48 degrees today, but there is a lot of wind so we had to bundle up to keep warm.
They were watching nimble Socks cross on a log, and were concerned that he would fall in the stream.
After we played and explored and took care of the dog, it was time for naps.
Sarah and her nice clean blankie were reunited.
O happy home whose little ones are given
Early to Thee, in humble faith and prayer.
To Thee, their Friend, who from the heights of heaven
Guides them, and guards with more than mother’s care!
Good to be Home 
sweet post, Shanda….
how sweet… yes, I took have gotten bitten by the spring cleaning bug! 🙂 I too miss my hubby.
what a wonderful morning!Hurray for potty training successes!And yes, I have been bitten by spring cleaning and have yard-sale fever!!! I have the back bedroom, attic and crawlspace to purge!!!
The picture of Sarah and her blanket is precious. Such great outside picture. I can feel and smell the crisp air from here!
Those two are so very sweet:) my little ones do the same thing, they follow their daddy at church. Always in the blink of an eye and always before i could stop them:)
My little sister used to sit under the clothesline, hanging onto the corner of her blankie while it dried in the sunshine and wind ~ many, many years ago ~
Aw this post was so relaxing. 🙂 I needed it for sure! I did a ton of spring cleaning Thursday and Friday and more today for an inspection. I think I need a break. 🙂
Was just thinking I need to make a list of the which closets/areas to sort through and purge this week. We watched an episode of Hoarders last week and it just made me want to sort and scrub my house top to bottom:) Hope your week is wonderful Shanda~
Yup, so many needed areas around this little place. That is part of the problem…nowhere to put things! such a great post, full of life with little ones. Love the two little “elves” by the stream, the cat, chicken, and especially the two cute eyes over the pretty blanket!
Beautiful closing picture—love Sarah’s eyes peeking out from the blanket. James will sit in front of the washer and dryer until his blanket is clean and ready to be dragged through the house again.
Your day looks lovely.Yes, the spring cleaning bug has definitely hit here! Love when I am motivated.Happy Monday to you. =)
