So far, the day has been pretty productive, but its been busy with fun things!!
After everyone slept in, and Brady and I enjoyed a cup of coffee in bed, we got everyone up and the day started moving.
Brady started by putting some things up that have been in the plans for a good long while now! Guitar hooks….. (just showing one here, but he and I both have our acoustic guitars on either side of the front window)
And some coat hooks we bought from Ikea to put up in kids rooms for hoodies, backpacks, etc. (A ghost!!)
We had a couple extra coat hooks, so we put one by the front door for diaper bags and hats and such…
And one behind my chair, to hang my cuuuuute new bag that holds some of my current crochet projects!! 😍 Thank you again, Sandy!!! 👻
Look at my little MAN!!! Oof! I love him!
Before I show you my new bag, look at what else we did! 😅 Yes. Times are this desperate when your toddlers unpack the entire bookshelf every change they get!
Board books will all be sorted down to the bottom, and the rest CAN be protected when I’m in the kitchen and they’re in the living room, which is when they get into the most trouble, hahaha!
Ta-daaaaa!
For lunch, we all enjoyed some apple crisp!! 🍎 I had made the filling a couple of days ago and its been waiting to be eaten in the fridge. This morning, Dekker volunteered to make some oatmeal but we have run out of eggs. No biggie! I asked if he was willing to try something different, and he absolutely was! I barely helped, and he pieced a beautiful huge apple crisp together for the family. Conveniently, it baked a little longer than anticipated (as tends to happen when one doubles the batch) so the littles were down before it was done. So while it would be lovely to share it with the babies as well, it was more peaceful to eat as a family of seven. We blobbed some ice cream on top and everyone ate in the living room.
Except Rowan, which prefers to sit at the table, but was not AT ALL unhappy or feeling left out!
Lunch was capped off with a few kids heading outside, and this one particular kid offering me a back rub.
Does it really get any better than this?!?! 🥰 Thank you Lord!!!
