We were having some friend over to make ice-cream in a ziplock baggie. I made them finish their math and reading quick and then clean the house so we could bake a cake for our friends. My boys that have S.t.r.u.g.g.l.e.d. with learning since Christmas finished in 1 hour this morning. And then my 6yo told me he totally enjoyed cleaning the bathrooms more than schoolwork anyways. All because we were making a cake. <br /><br />I think we'll be doing more cooking together again!<br /><br />I had an orange day today...and the rest of the month had been like bananas.kmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659183247879049382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-61615804359934361272010-02-18T21:10:13.690-05:002010-02-18T21:10:13.690-05:00I love this!

Totally a God move. HE is the one who has a way with words!<br />Sorry, but I have to laugh about the mess still being there when you got home. That's just the way it goes, isn't it? No one sees the mess except us. So thankful for the Holy Spirit who gives us the grace to smile through it.<br />Love you!<br /><br />O Mom - How 'bout this? When you get stuck on a banana, just peel it. Cuz then they become slippers! *silly grin*Karen Hossinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049412644792482270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-46153369052303846322010-02-18T10:33:51.350-05:002010-02-18T10:33:51.350-05:00I'm craving an orange now myself!

And even though I do not get to send mine off to school ANY day...this is something that I must stop and do on a regular basis. And heading out to my clinics a few times a month has brought me the same sweet message from the Holy Spirit. When I was stranded in a hotel Monday night because I couldn't get home in the snow storm...I sure missed the dirty dishes and the noise and mayhem of my three teenage remaining at home. AND sure enough when I walked in the next morning the mess was there, but I listened to that still small voice and just kept smiling. It was good to be home. Bananas. Oranges! Love it!

They can bicker with the best! LOL But the times I remember that it won't last, that's when I handle things the best. What a great reminder! It makes such a big difference when I realize that these precious children are only little for such a short time. <br />Great post! I'm going to try to look for oranges today.Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34025405.post-6069222226474116532010-02-18T09:07:00.182-05:002010-02-18T09:07:00.182-05:00Amanda - That's because I cannot honestly say ...Amanda - That's because I cannot honestly say I love every moment.
