mulan-esque moves

i was sweeping the floor one of 2,456 times last week...when my broom became a training tool.
not a house cleaning training tool...
a war fighting tool. and i have to say, the girls got some moves.


notice, if you will, the attention to detail..."little brother", the dog is also with brooke-mulan while training!

Hey, if you've got to work you should at least make it fun.

My daughter "sweeps" the floor. Needless to say, I have to follow behind and do it again. I hope she'll be as optimistic for it when it counts.

LOL!!! My kids do the same thing. Even my tween. They never seem to out grow it.

I threaten if he wants to play with...put that brushy end to the floor and 'play' his mighty little heart out.

I joke with my hubby that we could probably feed an entire third world country with the food I get off of the floor everyday! We'll give Brooke credit for being innovative!

I just love how ordinary tools become such 'extra'-ordinary when the kiddos get them. I can't say my broom has been in a fight (other than with the dust bunnies) lately, but it has served many a prop when dancing around the house! :)

Look at those skills! The broom is a hit around our house too.
And... she looks way to cute doing it in her little striped sweater. I love those sweaters!
I totally feel like we sweep 2,456 times a week to. Never does any good, so at least the broom gets to have double duty!

My kitchen is so small if my kids did that everything would be broken. LOl
She does have so sweet moves.
Cute!
Love her stripey shirt.
Oh! I love this post! We are "cleaning the witch's cottage" at our house today! I'll pull any crazy tricks I can to get these little monkeys to clean!

She definitely could give Mulan a run for her money!

OH the many uses of a broom! We just made 2 mini brooms for the twins because they were Sweep Freaks around the house.

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
