"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Put Your Hands Up!


On Monday the girls never made it in from the car after picking Daddy up from school. Who wants to miss a good rainstorm?



M sat under the gutter, washed rocks off, and ate them. This is a creative moment, right? I'm just letting my kids become geniusus (yes, I know that's not a word) or something. Either that or Justin and I were just enjoying eating dinner without interruption. Like you've never done it!!!

E preferred to dig dirt out of the planters where seeds have not sprouted, spread it around the yard, and then sweep it up. We discussed this a little since I'd prefer to keep the dirt in the pots, but her reply was that she had to have something to clean up. That makes perfect sense.

Those girls come "programmed" to love "playing in the dirt!" Looks like their parents are doing a GREAT job supporting their natural inclinations!

Love,
Grandma Paula
