Apron on, cooking dinner, back door open where I can see all 3 boys playing sweetly with each other; their giggles almost drowning out the old-school Rich Mullins music I have blaring in the house. A cool breeze blowing in just as
dh walks in early from work (early for him, anyway). He is smiling and looking devilishly handsome. He gives me a kiss and then heads straight outside to scoop up a
youngen who squeals with delight in his daddy's arms. Baby is chasing
dh, screaming, "duh--
dee!" Dinner is now on and Einstein actually eats the okra I fixed and asks for seconds. Everyone helps clean up kitchen. Baby goes night-night, and we sit and watch, "Pete's Dragon." with blankets and pillows in the family room. Mommy gets some "brain dead" time at Target getting cookies for Lancelot's school carnival tomorrow, and somehow I end up in the makeup section, drooling over aisles of makeup. Back home now, movie is almost over, cinnamon cake cooking in oven (whipped that up right when I got home...also for carnival), and 30 quiet minutes to read new blogs. Life is good!

Sounds good to me!!! I'm glad you had a great day!
I just changed my blog address-sent you an email. Sorry.
Did you actually get this night??? This sounds wonderful - great family time AND time to read blogs? he he :)
This was an actual evening. Last night, to be exact. It is funny cuz just a few weeks ago I wrote my blog about needing help cuz life was so crazy. It just makes the good times that much more special.
Just saw your comment about my 'motivation' post from MTM. I go to bed anywhere from 10-12 and get up at 5:30....ah, makes for a long day. But, its the only time I get exercise. I don't like having the kids with me - I like to use the time they are down in the afternoon to blog!
May you feel motivated to wake up at 6:45 now! heeheee
Just remembered....as far as a devotional, I've been reading The Power of a Praying Parent (gives me TONS to think and reflect on) and One Minute of Praise.
