First, all the kids slept until eight. Jason and I both needed a good nights sleep.
Then breakfast followed with mommy even having enough time to finish her devotional.
We are slowly getting back into our school routine. Mostly we are just remembering how to sit still for more than 5 minutes (a constant little boy lesson).
Jason came home at lunch so I could go to my baby doc appointment without 3 little assistants. I love being reassured that she is growing well and we are getting closer to meeting her. She is (finally) head down, measuring a bit ahead, and has a strong heartbeat. Being the only one capable of carrying the baby to the doctor I had the bonus of 2 hours of quiet time in the middle of the day.
I returned home to find two-thirds of the boys napping, so the quiet was extended. A blessing that rarely occurs these days.
When the stirring began everyone ended up in our bed laughing and wrestling. Oh boys, what fun.
I'm not saying it didn't end with bumped heads and a few tears, but we had a nice long time of pure joy.
The the oldest asked to open the blinds to see the sunset. Of course dear, and the light even motivated mommy to shoot a little on manual.
We went out to dinner and then made a trip to the Lego store to check out the new train and their new Chima line. The boys were thrilled, and we even walked out without making a purchase.
We arrived home late after all our galavanting around. The boys were PJ'ed, teeth brushed and tossed in the bed. Mean old momma said it was too late for a story, but tenderhearted daddy started a new chapter book with them and calmed their busy minds.
The perfect end to an exceptionally ordinary wonderful day worth documenting in the life of our little family.
