Thanks to everyone who commented or prayed for us after the last blog post. Our days have been going so much better. One day it occurred to me that I get sick of doing the same things and enjoy a new “project” sometimes so I sat down and made a list of things the kids could do that aren’t everyday occurrences around here. It made a tremendous difference just to have some things to keep them occupied. We listened to audiobooks (we do this a lot, but I got a few new ones), we wrote letters to the great grandparents (which I now need to mail, oops), we made pillow mountains, brought the snow inside, and I still have some things on my list for the next time I need some activities. =)
One night Creighton woke Lincoln up and asked him to read to him. Of course, Lincoln agreed and in the morning I found them like this.
Watching Mickey Mouse by the fire.
The last couple of years we have taken the older kids out to eat and then let them use their Christmas money. Our outing got cancelled a couple of times due to the snow, but we were finally able to go this past weekend. Thanks A. Joyce for watching Creighton and Anya!
Lastly, we’re pretty pumped in this house about the coming of our newest niece or nephew in August. =)
