job well done

Today I canned pears by myself. A little intimidating, but turned out well and I have gained another notch in my belt as a homemaker:)

While I was earning my notch, Hans was up to his usual, unattended mischief. After I put Anya to bed I heard her fussing more than normal. I went up to investigate. I looked for Hans and could not find him anywhere. I opened Anya's door and there they both were, in Anya's bed!! Anya had a big bruise on her head. Who knows how that got there; Hans doesn't and Anya can't talk!
Later I went to check on Hans in his room and it smelled refreshingly eucalyptus-ly. Hmmm. Sure enough, He got the Vicks off the dresser and applied it to his belly, "to make my bones grow!" LOL!!! I laugh as I steer him done the hall to get cleaned up or disciplined, whichever is necessary. Sometimes I question the fairness of punishing him for things that entertain me so much!! It certainly makes it more difficult to keep a straight face while explaining obedience:)

What a blessing you never seem to be bored thanks to your wonderful children and especially Hans. By the time your children grow up you'll be qualified to counsel younger parents on what works and what doesn't in molding the different personality types. I love reading your blogs. Your 2nd son reminds me alot of my 2nd born. God has a plan and purpose for each one!
Kendie, 15 years ago when we needed a bunk bed we were given a bed your family was no longer using. Now that you have children I just wanted to let you know we have the bed your Grandpa Breckbill made. If you're interested it's yours. He made it so it separates to be two single beds which is how we use it.

Aunt Pam,
Thanks. We have bunk beds that we are using for the boys, so for now we are all set!
