Sunday, Rainy Sunday

My family lead music at church this morning, which we haven’t done all together in what seems like forever! It was also good to be back in church. We had a big break from church a while ago, but have been attending fairly regularly again, and its nice to be back around such a fabulous group of people. Dekker doesn’t exactly feel the same way, and was pretty hands on through the service. As usual, though, he was thrilled to go to grandma and grandpas for the day.

We had steak and potatoes for lunch, which was completely delicious. After we ate and the kids went down, my mom and I made a quick run to Costco while the boys hung back and visited. I think we all enjoyed the afternoon. We had a comfy supper of just toast and fruit, and played lots of toys and relaxed. We were all pretty whooped, kids included. If only it was socially acceptable for adults to express their fatigue through loud vocalizing and running full force into furniture.

My parents, as usual, were very forgiving of us leaving a mess in the living room and unwashed dishes in the sink so we could haul our kids out as easily as possible. Dekker is finally learning how much he can handle of things, and when he is tired, he is happy to go home in his “new blat wan.” So we drove home and listened to music we all enjoy.

Halfway home, the snow started. Its rainy at my parents’ house, and winter at ours. Insane. At least we’re all tucked away and warm. We’ve recently stopped watching tv while in the tub, in an effort to talk more and not just zone out all evening. But today is definitely a tv evening. I’m sooo ready to soak in the bubble bath and watch House. Anyone else have similar plans? Because you should.

Sleep deep, all. Keep warm.
