Odds and Ends

Zach came home from church a few Sundays ago with pen marks all over his khaki pants. Thank goodness for Gonzo stain remover! It is THE stain remover to have for ink stains. I scrubbed the pen marks with the Gonzo and then washed them right after. No more ink stains. :-)

On the morning of St. Patrick's Day, Zoe couldn't find one of her sneakers anywhere. Weird. Luckily, she had a different pair of sneakers that she could wear since she had gym that day. When the girls were home from school, Zoe noticed her sneaker in the woods near the house. What was her sneaker doing in the woods??? Emily had used it to set her Leprechaun trap in. Oh, of course. I guess Emily was oblivious to Zoe looking for her sneaker that morning because she never said a peep about where it was.

We are all working on a service goal with Emily this week for the Faith in God program. Emily made up her own goal, which involves all of us doing service for each other throughout the week. Each morning, we get assigned someone new to do service for that day and someone new will do service for us. Emily did service for me on Monday morning by setting the table at breakfast time. I was impressed that she was thinking about her goal so early in the morning! It was nice to have her get everything ready for breakfast. Thanks Emily! This is a great goal for us to be doing!

There were robins on our lawn this afternoon. :-) And then it started to snow after I spotted them. It's a light snow that won't stick around, but the kids were quite annoyed that it was snowing when it is Spring!
