"Common Ground": my little corner of the blogosphere where I talk (a lot-wink) about the things that matter most to me: My relationship with my Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ, homeschooling, adoption, homemaking, parenting, "spousing." (yeah, yeah....I know that's not a word.....I made it up-it’s my blog-I can do things like that! Ha!)

Since my life isn’t all that different from yours, hopefully we can find some COMMON GROUND & learn from each other. Please share your thoughts!

Through the Lords’s mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.

They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness!
Lam. 3: 22 & 23

Favorite Foto Friday (& a confession for FFF readers!)

Well, if you are one of my faithful blog readers, you already know how I feel about MESSES…..

At Sara’s blog, the theme for the week was “Disorderly Conduct or Messy Spaces.”
Food Fight
Ummm…..I have a problem with that. I don’t like messes.



There.

I said it.

I’m a mom of three & I HATE messes.

(I should qualify that a bit. I WANT my kids to make messes.

OUTSIDE.

Digging

IN PLAY CLOTHES. ONLY!)

I have to make a concerted effort to PLAN “messy” times.

SO…..knowing thee theme this week, I let the girls have a “tea party.”

With water
On the kitchen floor
On a tray that contained MOST of the mess

(Can you tell the kind of planning that went into this “mess?” I have issues. I know.)

Here is the picture proof,

since I have to take them to prove I DID LET THEM MAKE A MESS!!!

So there! (ha!!! ha!!!)

Tina-I didn't say we don't have messes, friend! lol

I just said I HATE messes! ;-)

& if it's someone elses mess-doesn't bother me AT ALL!

At my house, as long as the mess is made OUTSIDE, mommy is HAPPY & so are the kiddos!

That is too funny! I sooo try to "plan" any big messes too, and outside messes are always the best kind! I often chant to myself that messes mean that the kids had fun. I worked as a preschool teacher in a daycare for many years...I have learned many tricks to containing and controlling messes.

That's too funny! I hate messes too. Your girls are adorable.

Adorable!!! While I don't take pictures of it, believe me, we have one big mess here. And, I confess, I am not the best housekeeper around!

I noticed you had a post about Natty being tactile defensive. Gabriella is the opposite and seeks sensory input. She has OT for that. But, honestly, she doesn't seem to be calming down much. I have heard good things about the brushing. Sometimes I do the joint compression and Gabriella loves it.

Not a friend of messy here either...such is life with four children though! Happy weekend!

Anna said...
