Today's Goings-On

* Everyone slept all night long so I woke up naturally. No crying, no requests--just quiet.
* Dragged Johno out of bed, so to speak, to get ready for school.
* took a bath
* Walked Johno to the bus. Chatted with Dawnie.
* Talked John into cramming the lovesac into the boys room. There is no room left in there, but it sure is fun to jump into.
* Got Jess ready and fed Piper--while putting piggies in her hair, of course.
* Cleaned around the house while the kids either followed me around or played. Turned on some music and threw Jess and Piper into the lovesac.
* Put Piper down for her nap.
* Had Jess and Mom time. We talked about a picture Jesus in one of their books and drew pictures. Jess drew me and I drew John. Jess wrote the word "mom" on his paper and I just loved that.
* Worked on the yard. Need to finish tomorrow.
* Picked up Johno from the bus stop.
* Made lunch--apples and mac and cheese.
* Had Johno and Mom time--we played with legos.
* Did some laundry--continued to clean house in prep for James's visit.
* Took the kids to the Farmer's market at Thanksgiving Point. Very fun.
* Came home and John was already here (Yeah!).
* Put Piper down for a nap.
* Went grocery shopping (blech). I don't love this part of my responsibilites--but then the thought ran through my mind that there are so many people out there who would love to shoving a cartful of groceries. That humbled me right up.
* Got home and went across the street to where John was talking with Ann Carluccio. She was repairing her brick path. The kids were having the time of their life playing on the big mound of dirt. Then John ran to Home Depot.
* Kids got a bath.
* We continued preparing for James for a bit.
* Put the kids to bed.
* Did the dishes.
