Seriously? Am I the only one?

The weather front that came through this past week left me with a splitting headache for 4 days straight! Praise the Lord...I'm feeling some better today.

My girls are awesome! On Saturday, Jason had to work, and I was in bed most of the day. I came downstairs at one point during the day, and I found that the girls had emptied the dishwasher, put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, wiped down the stove top and counters, wiped out the microwave, cleaned off the kitchen table, straightened the pantry and vacuumed the bathroom floors. Wow! Such initiative! I never once asked them to do anything! I made sure to praise them and reward them, because I definitely want to encourage this kind of behavior! =) The Lord has truly blessed me with great kids and an amazing husband!

Here's a video clip of Larissa vacuuming the kitchen floor. This was taken a couple of weeks ago, but I thought it was fitting for this post. Larissa loves to clean the kitchen table and chairs and then vacuum the floor. While she's cleaning, she usually sings...at the TOP of her lungs. =) This particular day, she was singing a song that our choir sings..."Holy is He," and as soon as I pulled the camera out, she spotted me and became "self conscious," I guess. She quieted down so much, you can barely hear her, but I still think it's cute. =) Enjoy!

Showers of Blessings

We have been getting a lot of rain lately, have you? The lawn is looking great, and we're definitely having to cut it more often as a result. The flowers are loving it as well. I love getting all this rain, because it means we don't have to water the lawn! Yay! More money saved!

The only problem I have with all the rain is that every time a front comes through, I get terrible, nauseating sinus headaches. So, that's where I've been for the last couple of days...trying to keep my head from exploding. =} Anyone else have that trouble? It seems to run in my family. My mom and sisters all have the same problem.

Anyway, I'm going to try to work up a post in the next couple of days. I just haven't felt like it for a couple of days now. Hope all of you are doing well.
