After leaving the dentist’s office, the kids and I put gas in my car. Then the kids decided they were just absolutely starving, so we picked up lunch in town for them to eat on the way back to school, and we dropped everyone off where they were going. I finally got back to the house close to 1 pm and had enough time to either edit or work on crafts… I opted to edit and ended up putting together 4 posts. That was a miracle, because I had to leave the house shortly after three to pick the boys up from school.
Fun tidbit: my younger boy was removed from the daycare program that two of the other kids attend, so he needs to be picked up right after school lets out. When dad or I pick him up, our oldest usually wants to be picked up at the same time. At that point, we may as well pick up our oldest girl since the daycare is touching the school playground. Like she could possibly see us, and there is no sense in coming back out two hours later to pick her up since we’re right there. Oh the joys of logistics!
After school pickup the kids decided they didn’t want to go to Awana’s. I don’t want to force them to go do church stuff, that takes the fun out of it. So we stayed home and I finally put together the tortelini and cheese sauce I got the ingredients for more than two weeks ago. Don’t worry, all the stuff was shelf stable.
The kids ran around like heathens for a while before finally crashing. Because they can’t fall asleep or go to bed and drift off into a peaceful slumber. They must crash like an old Dell PC. The only grace in this house is the grace of God. Everything else is bickering and toddler angst.
Then everyone was asleep and awoke the next morning gunning to do it all again.
Talk soon!
