My Little Praying Ladybugs

I love planning activities for the kids, but it's even better when the kids come up with their own ideas!! For instance, today they found a lady bug outside, caught it, and then worried it would be scared of them since they're not ladybugs. . .SOOOO, they decided to trick that ladybug and DRESS UP as ladybugs, so as to not scare it! Of course, Porter is a BLUE ladybug.All the while, mobile mess is at work. . .Then we read stories outside and all the while, Trey just wants to swing. . . He really is pretty good at entertaining himself!

The kids ate lunch outside today and as a helicopter flew over, Ainsley folded her hands, bowed her head and prayed for the people in it. . so sweet. We always pray for ambulances and helicopters as lots of people do, but it was neat to see the kids do it on their own. Porter said, "Mommy, Ainsley prayed for the helicopter. . the people in it are broken!" Shortly after, an airplane flew over so he said, "We need to pray for the airplane too!" They folded their hands and began praying for the airplane :)
