The kids helped me do some cleaning this morning. Their new favorite thing to do is to clean the bathrooms. Danny said, "Mom, can we do this every day?" Then, they swept and mopped the porch. They started sweeping inside but got side tracked and left a pile of dirt right in my bedroom doorway; you can't expect perfection! : )
At lunch today, we had quite the discussion.
Gilbert: "Dad, is God bigger than the whole world?"
Joe: "The Bible says in Isaiah 66:1 that the earth is God's footstool."
Gilbert: "What is a footstool?"
Joe: "A footstool is a stool to put your feet on."
Danny: (Who was in his own little world for most of the conversation) "A STOOL TO PEE ON!?!"
Joe and I couldn't help but laugh.
After naps, I felt terrible. I have several mosquito bites. They are all hot and swollen. One of them had really swollen up to about a four-inch wide circle. I think I was having an allergic reaction to the mosquito bites. I took some Benadryl and have rested all evening. I am feeling a little better now.
Kristine helped get supper ready. I had enchiladas ready to go in the oven. She watched the kids this evening and made cinnamon rolls for breakfast tomorrow. Joe went on to church. He said that they had a good service.
A demain,
Joe, Laura, Gilbert, Danny, and Bonnie
