We had a full morning, with getting to church for sound check, being busy for a bit between then and church, and then actually getting to church for the morning! A serious thank you goes to Jerilee for driving out and hanging with our kids for that hour for our practice! They were all in great spirits, which helps so much going into church.
Church itself went great. Music went smoothly, the kids did well, Wavy didn’t cry when I passed her off to a friend, and once the three oldest had gone to children’s church, Brady and I were 1:1 with kids. I had Wavy, and he had Solly. It was so chill. Though Waverly is SO loud!!! She’s lucky she’s so stinking cute or she might’ve been disruptive 😉
Aaaaanyway, after church, I took Brady and the kids home. Brady got them lunched and fed, and ALL FIVE OF THEM SLEPT!!! That almost never happens, but Rowan gets up a million times in the night to pee now (because potty training) and I think Dekker is getting less sleep. Some days, its just super clear that he needs to sleep. But he knows it, too, and feels so much better after.
Post-naps, they all went outside to bike.
They LOVE biking outside. This raises three points in my mind.
1. I have pretty big shoes to fill when Brady goes back to work later this week and I’m on mom duty again. They’ve been loving the outside time! I have to get them out there more.
2. We have to get our garage tidier/emptier so we can leave the bikes down and reachable. They currently hang from hooks on the ceiling, which works great, but I can barely reach them down. Our van takes up so much space in the garage that there’s nowhere for them to be set down and stay down. Hmmm… Who wants to come shopping in my garage?
3. Last point. What do you guys think? Dekker wants to bike to school, which I’m totally fine with. However, he and Laela walk together on her days. She still has training wheels. Would you let her bike to school with training wheels? Maybe lots of kids do, I really don’t know. I just have it in my head that they wouldn’t until the biked without them?? Any seasoned parents care to chime in? Maybe I made the whole thing up…
Regardless, the snow is melting and spring has officially come. Let the season of wipeouts begin!
