The painting crew for our house consists of a family from church who own a painting company.  Yesterday it was the husband, wife, and their teenage son.  They all know the boys and the boys were in and out "helping" them by keeping Sophie out of the way and also by moving things when asked.

G told me about some lessons over the course of the day with Younger Boy.  At one point Younger Boy said "what would you do if I hit you" and G told him "go ahead and find out".  G told him mulitple times he was waiting to be hit.  Younger Boy just couldn't grasp it so G asked him what he was thinking about and Younger Boy said "I think you might hit me back".  G told him maybe he should take the time to think things through like that in lieu of just doing it.

G and his son, N, also fixed our vacuum which we hadn't been able to fix.  It was clogged with things that NEVER should have been vacuumed up.  His wife, J, did a vacuum certification with the boys.  They were quizzed on what you should and should not vacuum up.  She proclaimed both of them certified to operate the vacuum.  The basic rule is that if you can see it...don't vacuum it up.  Same thing I have told them, but they live with me so surely I am wrong!!

The painting looks AMAZING!!  What is even better is the teachable moments which are accompanying them.

Praises for amazing people coming into our lives and walking alongside us on our journey.
