From the Kitchen of Alyssa

 I was pruning trees yesterday when Alyssa came out and kindly offered me a drink of water...... in a used soap container.  She assured me it didn't taste like soap, but I waited to dump it in the grass drink it when her back was turned.  When I came in the house she had another concoction - cake sprinkles and water.  I had to decline on this one, but Joshua was eager to eat up despite the look of vomit! I sure love spending time with my 2 little ones at home even though it tries my patience when I find surprises like cups of sugar dumped on the floor I just swept and mopped or a can of orange juice concentrate spilled on the couch.
