Now, my definition of sleeping-in has certainly evolved over the past 10 years. In high school, sleeping in meant 11am or later. In university that came down a bit, to maybe 10am or a bit later. Once married and working, it came down even more. I would consider 9 am to be a good sleep in.
Well, 2 kids later, and 7 am is the new sleeping in for me!
Today was the first day in a few weeks where we didn't all need to be up and out the door fairly early. So, Dave and I didn't set our alarms for the usual 6 am, and just woke up when we heard the kids after 7. It was so nice to all come snuggle on the couch with coffee and cartoons before tackling breakfast and getting ready for the day.
We had a wonderful morning at church, followed by lunch, afternoon naps for all, playing in the living room, supper and a trip to the park before bed. I failed to picture document the day (as Dave did so well this summer) - but Dave grabbed a picture of Janna and I reading on the couch today.
The kids have both really taking to reading by themselves. A few days ago I was in the kitchen doing some work and I realized it had been way too quiet for way too long. When I dashed around the house to see what mischief my kids were up to, this is what I found!
Now, Janna Banana certainly gets into her share of mischief these days. She loves pulling stuff out of the pantry and tends to go for the sugar, pancake mix, and flour. She also loves to get into newly folded laundry or the closets to come up with new outfits for herself. This is one she conjured up all on her own(and put on all by herself) this afternoon while Jesse was still napping. Notice pants off, one rubber boot, over-sized hat, sippy cup, and sock on hand
She of course went into one of her fashion crazed little silly spells, that left Dave and I just looking at each other and crossing our fingers for 15 years from now!
That's all from me for today. Just wanted to touch base. Thanks for reading! I'm out.
