Brady is home today!! Of all days, today was “beach day” at Dekker’s school. The last few days have been balmy and gorgeous, with the kids coming home without their hoodies/jackets, all tan and delicious. And today, it was windy and rainy to the point of everyone staying indoors for recess. But of course, it was beach day. Shorts and muscle shirts were out the window, but I think we did ok, creativity wise 😉
He was amped, and he’s since told me that no one else he saw had a lifejacket. Conveniently, he thinks thats awesome and not embarrassing, so I’m patting myself on the back for thinking of it and moving on.
Once he was at school, I got Laela off to an exciting day with the preschool, as they went to check out the kindergarten experience! She was so excited and came home happy, which made me happy, also. I can’t believe how soon she’ll be in KINDERGARTEN!! Crazy!!
Rowan and Solly played together beautifully while the older kids were away. Its not always smooth with the two of them, but its gotten a lot smoother than it was in the beginning of the school year! They played at the table together while Brady and I ate breakfast and looked a few things up.
On that note, we researched a LOT of things today, and in all honesty, I’m feeling a tad discouraged :/ I don’t think we got a straight answer or were able to make an informed decision all day long. When Laela was home from her morning out, and she and the little boys went down for rests, Brady and I had lunch and tried to just relax a bit ourselves, but the research poured into that time, too, and we were constantly pausing our show and sharing the info we were finding with each other.
It is hours later, Dekker is home, and I can hear him doing homework downstairs with Brady. I’m upstairs, writing this, because I almost forgot!! And even now, I’m SO distracted by all the things we’ve been looking up!!
I wrote that I was distracted, and then went and researched for a few minutes. No lie.
So it feels like its been a super weird day, but it hasn’t actually been. Its been pretty nice actually! No deadlines, low pressure, hubs being home. Its chilly and rainy outside but it smells great and sounds even nicer. I’m SO grateful for today!
