Maren's Band Aids

Now, if you know Maren, you know she loves Band Aids. We had this tamed for awhile, that if there was not blood, a Band Aid was not needed. However. Unckie Beth sent a care package a month ago with four boxes of Band Aids. So, there had to be a limit somewhere. We had to put a lid on it somewhere - so three Band Aids a day became the limit. Band Aids fix everything!

Now, what gets me on this is that Elena has never wanted anything to do with Band Aids. She does not like things stuck to her skin. But this last week when they got an Easter package from Unckie Beth with another box of Band Aids, well, they both got busy. 

At the Park

Monday was a challenging day so I decided we had to get outside. It was not even warm, so we bundled up and went to the park. It was a much needed trip outside. These kiddos seem to know it should be spring and  they just want to be outside. If the sun is out, they want to be out. This was a cloudy, windy day but we had a great time in the short time we were out.

A little blogspot for Lu! Here is Maren pasting geometric shapes to Lucy. Lucy has become quite tolerant in the last few years! She is especially tolerant of Maren, who is very gentle with her. I am not sure if Lulu really knew what she was doing until she stood up and realized she had stickers all over. It was cute how she let Maren do it, though. 

What a great dog! 

We also did some cleaning together this last week. Let's see if I can get a repeat on this next week! My favorite thing was Elena asking me the next day on the way home from preschool: "Mom, do you have any chores for us to do today?" What a shock that was! However, she was not happy with my response of: "Well, we do need to sweep and clean the floors and the dishwasher needs emptied." "No! I don't want to empty the dishwasher!" So apparently there are only some things worth doing - like washing windows and scrubbing sinks. Fine with me! I can find all sorts of things to do with a spray bottle, which is what they seem to like best.
