Cleaning the Church

Cleaning the Church as a family used to be a losing battle. This time, the kids were able to accept simple assignments: erase the chalkboards, dust the chair rail, etc.
Okay, so it worked for a few minutes.
Then they found the stack of rugs in the nursery, and industriously spent about an hour making a path down the hall for Sterling to drive his new train on.
It was so worth needing a second vacuum.

Creative Watering Methods

When it was getting a little warm in March for the ornamental kale to continue thriving under neglect, I asked Miriam to water it. It had never occurred to me to use pieces from the marble set to do so.
