Not Really Into Writing....

Since Memere and Papere are here I'm not too motivated to write. We are enjoying the visit and also the meetings for week of prayer.The weather is not springy anymore and that really puts a damper on getting out and doing a lot of fun stuff and yard work. It was raining when I woke up this morning, so hopefully that is a sign that warmer days are close.

The twins are enjoying the company. Mostly they are doing well, but beginning to show their true colors to Memere. Missy needed the run to the stop sign yesterday but Buster couldn't let her have all the fun, then Brianna joined and so it was a positive experience. Missy is struggling with being cooperative regarding her bowel problem and therefor spent an enormous amount of time in the bathroom sitting on the throne and washing her clothes out. I would no sooner let her out and she would have another problem. Finally she got the picture around supper time and did what she should have done in the morning, but we still decided both kiddos needed to go to bed early and mom stayed home from the meeting to watch them. Mom started puttering around my kitchen and stayed up until midnight cleaning out cupboards and fridge and organizing. It all looks lovely this morning.

I'm giving Christina a crash course in cursive writing. Two things my girls have always thought were not that important - handwriting and spelling. Bri came to me and asked me to help her with her spelling last week and Christina finally decided she needed to learn to write quickly and nicely. Might have to do with some handwritten thank you cards Christina needed to write that were hard for her to do and didn't quite turn out like she had hoped. Live and learn. Even the little things in life are important to the Lord and character building. I've learned that when a person sees their need the learning suddenly goes a lot faster.

Twalisa should be delighted to know that Missy's new doll's name is Twalisa. I told her it was Kirsten and she said "no, it's Twalisa." :-) As for the new bicycle, it's like Buster has to learn to ride all over again. He can't seem to get on the bike and just balance. He has to be on the seat and of course, since this one is a bit bigger his feet don't touch the ground and he just falls over.If someone will hold it up he can get on and ride down the hill, but he crashes when he wants to stop. It's crazy how each little thing must be taught individually. Nothing - and I mean NOTHING comes naturally.
