Such a hard day at our house! Sick kids, sad kids, tired mommy, daddy at work all night... throw a Pinewood Derby and a diaper blowout in the midst of it all and it was a doozy! Then, while dealing with the diaper, I heard music on my phone. Cal had turned my pictures onto slideshow and "Ordinary Miracle" was the slideshow music. My photos reminded me of the countless ordinary miracles in my life... Such a tender mercy! I know stuff like that doesn't happen by accident... It is a little gift from a loving Heavenly Father just when I needed a reminder that He's there and cares.
Ashton before the Pinewood Derby when he was so proud of his creative idea- a red brick car that he made all by himself!
Ashton after the Pinewood Derby when he learned what happens to cars that kids make by themselves. Poor little guy came in last in every race. Jeremy was at work so there wasn't a dad around to help him with graphite on the wheels or anything like that. It was really quite heart-breaking.
Thankfully, Katie handled her loss in the school spelling bee much better. She hadn't planned on winning (and definitely hadn't practiced enough to win), but round after round she kept advancing! She said she would like to try again next year and will practice more next time. :) We'll see... She is SO smart and talented in many areas, but she is also not one to just plug down and practice/study/work hard. I don't know how to teach/motivate her and as a result I spend much of the day nagging her to do her chores and practice the piano. Not fun for either of us!
This is the worst case of pink eye I have every seen! It is really gross and disgusting! To make matters worse he is having an allergic reaction to his ear infection medicine!
