Why Yesterday was Cute

Yesterday was a completely loaded day. Brady was at work, and the rest of us worked at home, too! The kids did their work in the morning, and I did much of mine in the afternoon.

Rowan sorted and started the laundry.
Dekker reorganized the big shelf downstairs that holds all the toys and games.
Laela cleaned the bathrooms.
Dekker helped me move a dresser into Rowans room, finally! I moved his clothing into his dresser, and he moved his possessions into his closet. This has been a LONG time coming, and he was incredibly excited!
Wavy and Solly pitched in where they could, and stayed out of the way otherwise. It was a decently smooth morning!

During nap time, there was a little lull, and Laela made chokers for herself, Wavy, and a couple of stuffies.

Laela and Rowan went to the park, and Dekker offered to help me with my work! So he came upstairs with me and helped me rearrange some of my crocheting stuff to make room for some more officey things, and we moved some other furniture around, too. It helps that he is so strong and willing to haul heavy things.

He also lovingly sampled my meringues for me. Approved.

And then he pulled out a tooth that had just started wiggling. I heard it come out šŸ¤® He’s a monster.

Brady’s day was the first Saturday with an open garden centre, so his work was SLAMMED. He finally took a lunch break around 3pm, and modelled a life jacket for me, lol!

Once nap time was over, it was bath time!!

Four out of five got clean, anyway. One is doing that now. Hooray for more of my kids being self-cleaning now! Lol! Its a convenient feature.

After our full day of work, we went to a partaaaaay!!! šŸ„³ Our dear Rae retired šŸ’œ We were so pleased to be included in the celebration, meet some more of their people, and reacquaint ourselves with some of their people again. Brady joined in as soon as he got home from work! What a beautiful family we all have together! šŸ˜

SUCH beautiful grandmas here!! We are SO fortunate! šŸ’œ

We got home at 8pm, which is when our oldest kids usually hit the sack! So everyone very happily and willingly climbed into bed. Brady and I felt the same level of wiped out, and also climbed into bed around that time, but rather than going to sleep, we cracked into some pop, and did homework for two hours! šŸ˜… No shortage of things to do around here!

Happy Sunday, friends! Off to church we gooooo!! And some rest to come this afternoon. Maybe šŸ˜†
