I wrote this in CHC in response to the question, "Pickles, like 'em or not?" 

I do not like pickles, Dianna I am...

Treasure

Tis a blissful day

A joy to play

To take delight

In Christ's might

Each day I learn

to Him more I turn.

Jesus is my treasure

my source of pleasure.

In keeping with todays theme of pictures... (oh how fun it has been to see other pictures in the world of blog!)

Mud

Squishy, mushy.. oozies

mud between the toe-zies

bricks, prints and pies

just don't get it in your eyes!

It's super-fun-a-licious!

It's mud-a-licious!!

(I do enjoy coming up with spur of the moment poems!)

These pictures were taken out at my mothers house. They are of my kids playing in some of the mud puddles in her driveway after a nice big rain! She lives in a forest. I was going to have some pictures of her wild Columbine flowers, but my camera battery died! ***pout***

This is "Squirt" really getting into what he is doing. He is making the water swirl around. I just love this picture because it shows my sons' inquisitiveness. He's discovered something neat! I also was cleaning dirt out of his ears three days later! ROFL He is also sporting the latest in tie dye shirts... mud dye!

(Left to right): Peanut, JD, Squirt, and Princess

They are splashing, jumping... my dd's pants were pink!!

Praise the Lord kids are washable!

My 22 month old, "Squirt" would just keep playing in the mud puddle. The other three would go run in the grass, come back around and jump as hard as they could... splash everywhere and Squirt would just laugh and laugh after getting splashed! The little guy was covered!! Later on they would find objects like balls, stick, grass anything they could find to see what floated and what didn't. They took sticks and made a 'canal' to one mud puddle to the other and made one big one!

Some would say that this sort of play isn't educational.. it sure is!! They learned how to make bricks, canals, boats, submarines. They learned gravity.. the higher and harder you jump.. the bigger the splash! Then, when they were done they used their laundry skills!!

This is "Squirt". As I said yesterday in my blog, I love to have my younger ones in all the learning activities. He was doodling on his bigger brothers handwriting tablet. It is one of those dry erase thingers.. well he fell asleep. So precious!!

It is our weekly tea time tomorrow and I wrote these clerihew's about each of my children. During our tea time, we enjoy reading and writing poetry.

J.D.

My first son

He is a lot of fun.

He knows he is really cool

and thinks cleaning his room is minuscule!

My Princess

My little princess

fancy, she likes to dress.

She screams at all bugs

towards me she comes for hugs.

Peanut

He is my peanut

His stuff he can strut

Around the house with his airplanes

He sure is one that entertains!

Squirt

With my little squirt

I'm always on alert

On things he likes to climb

which puts me on overtime!

J.D. is my 8yo son. Princess is my 7yo daughter. Peanut is my 4yo son and Squirt is my 22 month old son.

The Magazine

The Old Schoolhouse

words of encouragement they douse

upon their eager readers

who are teaching future leaders

A clerihew is a poem with four lines. The first and second lines rhyme with each other and the third and fourth lines rhyme with each other.

The first line names a person, the second line ends with something that rhymes with the name of the person. They should also be funny!

Happy Summer!
