Today was eventful to say the least-Being up well before the sun was not quite what I had planned-but, then again, what's a plan if there are not people under 3 feet tall to change it for you.
Around lunchtime, the children came to me and said, "We're finished with school-can we clean out the garage?" As I picked myself up off the floor, I inquired, "WHY?!" (probably not the most eloquent of all answers...) They responded with, "Dad is coming home tomorrow, and with all he does for us-we want to bless him. What better to come home to than his favorite room-CLEAN!" (Of course, don't worry about the rest of the house-he'll NEVER notice THAT!) So, they began on the garage...they took EVERYTHING out! And about the time EVERYTHING was out it was time for "MOOMMM-can you help us?" Needless to say, we ate dinner around 7:30 or 8:00 PM. Regardless, the garage is-dare I say-spotless! What a wonderful blessing for their Daddy.
The fact that school was finished at lunchtime was the best part for me! In addition to that-all three of the younger children napped! WAHOOOOO! It was like a mini vacation. I was able to cook up a huge pot of chicken soup and a huge pot of chili to freeze, therefore making it easier on myself on the days that get to be REALLY long. (Yes, it does happen!)
Our garden produced major amounts of chilis this year-green and yellow-so we have really enjoyed the fresh tastes in our cooking. We're hoping this spring to increase the size of our garden. It has really been great to be able to sustain our family so long on our garden harvest-we still have plenty!
I'm looking forward to tomorrow as Dear Daddy will be able to take in the fresh air and ground himself. We will be spending alot of time outside I'm sure. However, as you all know-cookies will be a must for his arrival.
Blessings
