How girls are different than boys...

This morning when Patience and Jordyn wandered upstairs they wanted breakfast. I told them that since it was summer now we were going to eat cold cereal for breakfast because the weather was warm and I didn't want to be cooking three times a day. My boys would have jumped for joy to hear such an edict! The girls...not so much. They begged me to please make oatmeal or cream of wheat or scrambled eggs, or something. We ended up with cream of wheat : )

Last night the yard was looking pretty messy after a couple of days of working hard and playing hard. One of the problems was the towels everywhere. I sent Patience out with a laundry basket and told her to walk all around the yard and put the towels in the basket. She did, and then brought the basket inside. So far, this is exactly what the boys would have done. But here is where the story diverges: Patience, without instruction, took the basket into the laundry room and sorted the dark towels into one hamper and the light towels into another!
