Searching in the mulch for "rolly polly" bugs...
Just had to showcase Nattie's new flower headband. She might be wearing these darn headbands for a bit longer since she still has minimal hair and is frequently referred to as a "cute little guy." :)
Finally, a quick Benny story...Lately he's been having a little trouble with the whole "obey your parents" thing and this day, in particular, he had been a real pain in the rear...with one thing after another. Well, it was the end of the day and he and Nattie were in the tub. There was a bar of soap up high on the ledge and I told him not to touch it. Next thing I know he's got it and is rubbing his eyes screaming and freaking out that "it's burning!" I was irritated and pulled him out of the tub to get him ready for bed. In his crying, burning eye fit he said..."Mom...I'm sorry. I've done hundreds of sins today!" I wanted to start laughing and tell him it was more like 10-15...but I didn't. :) He said, "But we are all sinners, right?" I told him we were and that, as a Christian, we are already forgiven, but that it is always good to ask for forgiveness when we know we've done wrong. He said a prayer before bed to ask Jesus to forgive him for all his sins. I told him that tomorrow was a new day and he could start fresh. He just makes me laugh...even when he is being a booger!
