Deuteronomy 11:18-19

18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 19 Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.

Deuteronomy 11:18-19

Ice Cream

The kids and I made homemade ice cream tonight. A sweet dessert to use up the extra cream and give us all a treat. They all love it with chocolate and strawberry syrup. YUM. I always seem to get it a bit on the soft side so they finish it by drinking out of their bowls. E uses a straw and sucks the bowl dry. Now they are 'dancing' by turning in circles for as long as they can before they fall over. J is awesome at this and can do it for hours. Or at least I think he could if I let him. I do not. I get dizzy just watching him. He does not even walk funny after. E on the other hand goes around a few times and goes slower and slower until she's stopped. Then she either falls over giggling, stands still waiting for the world to right it's self, or walks sideways and staggers and giggles until she falls over. They have a blast. L does it a few times then gets bored and goes to find his trucks. Baby R of course loves to watch them from her spot on the floor. She sits there and laughs at them. I love it that my children can play together and enjoy eachothers company with out argueing or complaining. I wonder often if people who refuse to parent their children have moments like these or if their children are always as we see them. Hard to please. Always wanting more and more and more. Always taking but rarely giving. How sad for them if they do not. We are truly blessed to such wonderful children.
