Week two started out much easier than week one. By Wed (Friday) I was having to wake up the younger two boys and convince them that getting in the shower would make them feel better about having to go to school. I guess the boys caught up on sleep over the weekend because they were all up and in the shower by 6:40 when I got up. We were able to have breakfast together, read today’s Jesus Calling as our devotional, and then sat and relaxed on the front steps as we waited for the bus.
Once the boys were off to school a friend came over to use our internet (she just moved here and doesn’t have internet at home yet) then we went out to coffee with another friend. While I was out enjoying a cappuccino and swapping moving horror stories, Lucy made dinner, cleaned the kitchen and mopped the floors, and put Camille down for a nap.
(Camille has been playing peek-a-boo lately and she thinks she’s hilarious. She is.)
In the afternoon Josh came home from school — he started his course today. They start at 7am so he left before I woke up, poor guy. He told me about his day as we waited for the boys to come home on the bus. I can’t believe he can take a graduate level course in Arabic. It makes my brain hurt to think how hard that must be.
(when she’s not playing peek-a-boo she likes press the buttons on my phone. If I don’t watch her carefully she ends up calling one of my friends or Josh.)
The boys all had a good day and Carter even got through his homework with minimal fuss and as a result had time to play with his friends before dinner. I could Groundhog Day this day over again a few times before getting tired of it.
(bonus “baby talk” video — more of the same.)
