The first half of this week was unpacking, laundry, cleaning, and trying to remember routines! Tuesday included a quick jaunt to the polls to vote. On Thursday, Dan had to work late - but to make up for it, he went in late - so we spent the whole morning trying to be productive and enjoy the morning together. Dan made up some strawberry jam that we have been enjoying ever since. I spent most of the morning raking leaves (at least 6 garbage bags worth - and they are still falling!!) Then the kids had a blast playing in them that evening. James was mostly interested in just watching the others play - he didn't see the fascination inherent in a pile of crunchy leaves.
We celebrated Eileen's birthday this weekend. She had a couple friends over for a birthday/slumber party. Her long time friend Morgan and a friend from church - Ali came over and we ate pizza and gold fish cupcakes and watched movies and painted toe nails and just had a good time.
Saturday morning was spent by the kids playing, in the afternoon - we spent some time cleaning house and letting the kids do some extra chores.
Sunday was wonderful - somehow no amount of "relaxation" can ever compare to the emotional uplift that the Sabbath brings. Even if I am exhausted by the end of the day, it's a hopeful and good exhausted. :)
