Yesterday was large and productive while also fairly relaxed and peaceful. It was consistently busy and comfortable.
Today was another day where I worked to clean up camp stuff that is spread all over the house. However, it was vastly less peaceful and much more chaotic.
None of the babies were settled today. I got one good nap out of them and otherwise, it was a huge struggle.
The baby who happily kills time crawling around the house, chewing on their hands and chasing down toys simply was not happy on the floor today, or in bed, or even being held for that matter. Crusty, crusty baby.
The two babies who are older and more active are both climbers now, which is NEW territory for me!! Whew! Today was the kind of day where I’d drag the piano bench across the house, only to have those little punks drag it back over to the piano and climb ONTO the piano! Ugh! Only one takes it quite that far, but they work together. It was the kind of day where my coffee got poured out on the floor. Noses ran. I said “no” a lot more than I prefer. Things were noisy. Toys were thrown. Everyone survived on crackers. We kind of just got by.
However, the laundry machines ran consistently. The tables slowly got more and more cleared off. Plumbers worked downstairs and in the garage all day long. Everyone was fed. Lots of smiles were shared. A new word was even uttered by our Morsel 💜 It was a VERY good day. Less productive. Less calm. But still a day to be grateful for.
Thank you, Lord, for providing endlessly for us.
