This morning started bumpy with Waverly crying and crying. It took a while to sort out exactly why, but it was soon clear she had a pretty good dose of sun stroke from her first good full day in the hot sun yesterday. Poor dear was in rough shape, and ended up napping the morning away.
She woke up still feeling VERY sensitive, and chilled, despite the warm weather. It was pretty clear at that point that we wouldn’t be revisiting the beach again today. So we opted to pack up earlier than usual. The earliest we ever have. We figured we could actually unpack clothes. Bathe kids. Eat supper at home. Do some of those things that tend to get skipped or done in a frantic rush.
And our kids crushed it!
Kids took garbage away. Packed clothes off shelves. Did dishes. Reloaded the wood bin. Emptied the tanks. Turned the water off. Put chairs away. Swept in and out. Brought everything to the van for Brady to load. Wavy sat and shivered, but all four other kids were eager for jobs.
We got out the door in good time and will easily be home in time to get everything organized and everyone in bed at a normal time. I’m so grateful it went as smoothly as it did!
I hope you all had a great weekend 💜 as school starts to wrap, I hope you all enjoy these last weeks before summertime hits and routine moves around again!
