Made eggs and toast for breakfast for the girls and Adam

Played blocks with Tess

Made myself a latte

Played puppies with Tess

Thought longingly about another latte

Played babies with Tess

Took a shower (while talking to Tess)

Walked down the driveway with Tess

Finally convinced Tess to get dressed (it was 3:00 pm)

Cleaned the chicken coop, while watching Tess jump on the trampoline

Walked to the neighbor's house with Penny and Tess (on her trike)

Made waffles and bacon (come on, who doesn't love breakfast for dinner?!)

Observed a suds-flinging contest in the bathtub

Read "One Duck Stuck in the Muck" to the girls before bed, then untied my tongue

Fell asleep putting Grace to bed

Chopped broccoli, grated cheese, sliced fruit, and made honey butter in preparation for bringing lunch (AND snack) for 13 preschoolers tomorrow

Did two loads of laundry

Made an applesauce cake (for us), because I'm nuts

Collapsed from exhaustion (9:30 pm)

It was a good day.

[Note: I really do treasure my Thursdays at home with Tess, and I know someday I'll look back on these days and try to remember what they were like. Several things about this day made me chuckle, and it is pretty representative of life right now. And that's a good thing.]
