It was such an eventful day yesterday- I’m writing this in the morning. Better late than never! There were ups and downs, but sticking with the theme, I’m only writing about the good stuff.
After only three days of this, I’ve become more intentional about paying attention to each moment. This may be the best thing thing I’ve ever done.
In the morning, I was going through my Bible study when I heard the sleepy pitter patter of four year old feet coming down the hall wall. We spent the rest of the morning in my favorite chair- snuggling and reading books about tractors. “That’s Not My Tractor” is his favorite.
I got back to work on sorting through clothes. There are about six trash bags in the entryway to donate. The kids kept themselves busy playing outside, swimming, and building a fort in the playroom. I hid the remotes so we’re still on a no-TV streak.
Ava and Jack picked basil and tomato from the garden and we made a yummy pasta for lunch which even Adrian liked. For dinner, we all cooked again and Pete prayed over our meal.
Before dinner, Jack and Pete went with Adrian to pick up Alec in Fresno. While they were gone, Ava and I watched a little TV to celebrate the time alone together. We watched our favorite episode of Fuller House, where Kimmy takes Ramona’s spot as the mouse king in the Nutcracker, adding her own spin (literally) to the play. I laugh out loud every time.
I’m about halfway through Ree Drummand’s book and realized I’ve already ready it. But I love The Pioneer Woman so much, and it’s so upbeat and funny, that I’m going to finish it. Again.
The Good Stuff
