I just realized that I have not made a post in one week. I have been busy working with the family to de-clutter our home. We would like to sell it by fall and so one room after another has taken on a new perspective. The outside has been in need of help and this has also been part of our effort. The best thing about this effort is the grandkids are getting into it and wanting to help. My favorite story is my 4 year old granddaughter, Sydney, who wants to help Grampa weed! When she hears Grampa is outside weeding she quickly gets out of bed, puts on here clothes and skips breakfast for a few moments and comes outside. She gets her hat, her gloves, flower spade and bucket and comes help Grampa. The other day she worked very hard and pulled almost 30 large weeds. I was amazed at her desire to work in the garden. She was enjoying the effort and was asking Grampa which weeds were OK to pull. Her best question: Why are we pulling weeds if Heavenly Father created them? My answer did not suffice but as the trooper she is she kept on working with Grampa.
Another interesting event surrounded was my oldest Granddaughter, Hallie. We were all working hard sorting things for D.I., storage or ready for the landfill when her Mom and Dad asked her to do the Laundry for the first time. Hallie worked at the laundry all day, sorting into piles, filling the washer, adding soap, then moving the wash clothes to the dryer to be dried, and then folding and putting the clothes away. She was very diligent and would asked help for those things that she was unsure of. I was greatly impress and so were her parents, so much so we all declared a DQ night.

Just curious, but what was your response to Sydney's question about why we pull the weeds? I to would like to know why we spend so much time pulling weeds when they are Heavenly Fathers creation. How are they to multiply in there element if we keep killing them by pulling them?
Sydney has a great point. So much so that I think I will go on a weed-pulling sabbatical. For the rest of my life. Such wisdom in someone so small.
Those kids are so darn cute. They always make me giggle.
Good luck with the de-cluttering...I'm not sure I'll recognize the house when you're done!
I told her that we have good things and bad things and that weeds hurt the flowers. Heavenly Father wants us to see and know the good things so we have to keep the weeds from hurting the flowers.
Well, that sounds fun! Can you send them down to texas, we have some really LARGE weeds that need some attention. I too could use some laundry help and house decluttering. I will buy the airline tickets, possibly!!!
That sounds like a plan. We will take some pictures and let you see the finish result; if such a thing really exists!
