Sarah got an orange at the breakfast bar. She played with it for hours. [If you think her kitty cat voice is annoying... you should hear her orange voice.] Finally, Jeremiah talked her into letting them eat it.
They gathered around me as I peeled the fruit. They acted as if they’d never seen or eaten an orange. I gave them a bowl full of the sectioned oranges and thought the excitement was done. Nope. Jeremiah decided to invent orange juice. [Novel idea.] The kids spent 20 minutes squeezing the juice out of that orange. [I made them do it in the bathtub.] They’re very impressed with themselves and their little cup of juice.
Oranges are free. I think we’ll make a habit of this.








The experience of motherhood shows through. The bathtub is a good place for messy adventures.

True. I make them finger paint in the tub too.
