John Derek, Maddie, and I took a brief walk to the park for my morning exercise.
We played for a few minutes. I pushed them on the swings and then they
went on a "treasure hunt" for seed pods. Oh the simple joys of
children. They found such delight finding a pod all by themselves.
After coming home I said no TV and that today I was focusing on doing laundry and that they needed to go outside to play. Well they did not want to go outside but instead wanted to "help me." So Maddie pushed the wet clothes into the dryer and JD emptied the lint catcher. I then said I needed to go upstairs to get more laundry. They both disappeared (to avoid work I am sure.) When I got upstairs Maddie was loading laundry into a laundry basket and JD was trying with all his might to pull the laundry bag out of the laundry cart. It was so sweet of them. We loaded 2 baskets. I brought one down with the laundry bag and in a few minutes JD appeared with the other basket. What sweet kids we have. I am grateful for the innocence of my two sweet children who I get to know better and better as I spend my days with them. What a blessing they are.
