Twins Day

What a magnificent day today was. McKenzie received a call from cousin Ericka to have a sleepover. And of course after that call she was on cloud nine. So I decided to take the opportunity to spend some one on one time with the twins. Which you can imagine that never happens. The girls had to share Sarah's bike. Lydia's bike is way to small!!! So Santa if you see our blog..... remember to buy Lydia a bike for X-mas.

Sarah was very happy. Loved the flowers surrounded houses on Church St. Scott let them have a bike light that belonged to his bike and you can imagine the joy it brought to the girls. And along the way we had mini lessons about littering and keeping the Sabbath day holy. Sarah's perception of littering is that, strangers do it. On Church St there is a house called the "Hill House Museum" and every time we pass by they want to go in. Unfortunately we will never find out because its only open on Sunday, hours 1-4pm. Our destination was riding her bike to Lucas house (boy from Tot Kickball) and she forgot where he lived. She quickly remembered as we got closer. Singing Halloween songs and seeing Christmas lights and Christmas trees in windows ended our bike/ night run.

The eager Lydia she was already outside waiting for her turn. As we left the house, there is not sidewalk for one block. So she quickly reminded me she didn't feel comfortable riding in the street because you will have no mom or dad. I guess she got the point its unsafe. Good enough anyway. As we started on Church St. she was Speedy Gonzales. It was hard to keep up. She was focused during the ride. She soon slowed down a bit and start to express to me that her legs hurt and her arms and hands. Well if you know Lydia, once she starts hurting you quickly get her mind elsewhere. So I asked her if she could see her breath and she said no, but she might need ice cream to see it. That's my girl!! She too asked about Hill House and she was content with just looking thru the windows. Just taking my word that Sabbath days are for dedicated for our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ was enough for her. If we could all be like a child and just simply obey.

As we were coming up on Vine St. I told her to look out for Lucas house and she said his house is blue with white trim and had a red door. I was amazed. How observant my little girl is. By this time it is quite dark on South School and we were all ready to get into a warm house. I will just say that Lydia and I worked as a team getting back home. She looked up and realized where we were. Spotted our house, it was a mad dash home.

My time with the girls individually was a great time spent!

I would like to thank Dr Judy Tippit-White for the "BE BRAVE" Applebee's free kids meal. Going to Applebee's was icing on the cake for Lydia and Sarah.
