My kids rock!

OK so ya every parent says that their kids rock for one reason or another, but here is why my kids RIZOCK THE HIZOUSE!

They have been extremely obedient lately (or so it seems) when we ask them to do something around the house. Granted there is dilly-dallying by the King Dilly Dallier himself AKA Eli, but for the most part there has been a blessed presence around the house. So anyways ... why the kiddos rock ... you know those cool little seeds that twirl down to the ground ... the ones that as a kid were so fun to throw up in the air and watch them "helicopter" to the ground? How many adults out there still find these things amusing? We have three of these trees in a row up our street starting at the neighbor to the north of us. For some reason this year, they (the trees) seem to have produced four to five times the amount of seedlings than normal. Last week I mowed and swept all of these bleepity things up off of the driveway. Had things looking GREAT(or as great as our yard can look) and I got back from the Heartland mens retreat this past Saturday(WHICH ROCKED!!!!) ... well lets just say that there was three times the amount on the ground then the first time I tidy'ed up. OOH JEESH this post is getting stupidly long ...

Praise the KIDDOS!!! So tonight I am working in the yard and I draft the kids help in picking up helicopter seeds from around the plants and in the front were we planted some things. Now normally you would probably expect to hear grumbling, complaining, using the bathroom fifty times, seventy-five drinks of water, etc ... :)

NOPE! The kids did a great job tonight .. its not perfect but it looks TONS better than what it did. Yep ... my kids 8 and 6 yrs old ... helping dad out in the yard picking up stupid helicopter seeds and they did it almost cheerfully.


Thank you Jesus for the great kids you have blessed Manda and me with. I love you!
Amen-
