Boys milked. Dad went to work. We did laundry and made chicken pot pie (our favorite, remember?) for supper. Levi and I did geometry. We did lots of laundry. We unpacked and put things away. I did a bit of patching and altering. And did laundry. And did a piano lesson with Jacob. Did I mention we did laundry? And did I mention it was raining most of the day? Which wasn’t all bad, because the garden is turning into a weedy mess, and if it hadn’t rained I would have felt pretty pressured to be out there working instead of inside getting things back to normal. But it was some bad, because the little girls especially were kind of spatty all day. They went out some, but they argued outside too. Here’s a classic spat starter:
Jewel: “I’m going to do 4 puzzles because I’m 4.”
Sarah: “No, you’re not. You’re 3.”
And they’re off…and it goes on and on until Sarah has earned herself another job. I have little patience for such pettiness, even from an almost-6 year old.
Aah well, some days are like that.
In my spare time (between doing laundry, geometry, settling spats, changing and rocking Joshua, managing supper, etc.), I sorted and edited weekend pictures with lots of help and advice from whoever was in the house. It’s so fun to do – as we sort/edit we remember and re-live all the fun we had.
I skipped a walk – never really stopped raining for very long.
Can’t remember much about the day, so it must have been pretty calm…no broken pipes or toilets, no mowing, no injuries, no appointments or errands. My favorite kind of day.
Boys milked again and joined us before supper was over. We did Bible at the table so I could put littles to bed when they needed it and older kids could stay up.
That’s it.
