A Breakdown of a Break Day

The morning began over coffee with Brady before he headed out for the workday.

Then, I lay in bed a little longer. Because this week is off of school.

I went into the kids rooms and snuggled everyone for a couple of minutes, letting them know it was time to get up. About half of them had sore throats.

Kids ate breakfast and we talked plans for the day.

Kids left for VBS, and Cher and I had a short coffee.

Cher studied downstairs, and I crocheted in my room while I watched my smuggler show.

Cher and I ate a snacky lunch.

Four of the kids came home for lunch. Dekker went to the school to work on Frozen Jr sets.

Kids ate, and the two youngest went down for naps.

Laela and Rowan folded origami and sipped tea together, like the sophisticated children they aren’t.

Cher brought me a coffee upstairs 💜

Laela bailed on origami, and Rowan struggled, so Cher ducked over and helped him fold a spider. A very loving auntie.

Dekker and Laela were both invited out with friends.

Solly played lego.

Wavy had a bath.

Cher went back to studying, and I’m hanging out in the living room with the two littles. Rowan is having some sibling-free playtime downstairs.

It is peaceful here at the moment. I really hope it stays that way 🤞
