When I looked out the window this morning the clouds were dark and the trees were bent as their leaves danced in the wind. The little ones stayed snug in their beds just a little bit longer than usual thanks to the cooler weather, and I was the first one in the kitchen. They filled their tummies with pancakes and then we got ready for our day. After Camilla left the boys and I tried out a new playdough recipe.
It was soft and wonderful! The boys played all morning long with their cars and cookie cutters.
Finley climbed his way onto a chair and planted himself right in the middle of the table where he giggled and played right alongside his brothers.
There is something about a cloudy day that awakes within me a desire to bake.
While the boys happily played I made up 2 1/2 dozen pumpkin muffins, four loaves of whole wheat bread, a pail of rhubarb slush, and some beef barley soup. It was the most productive morning I've had in a long time, and it felt good. Our house smelled amazing!
I put my feet up for a little while in the late afternoon. While I was lying on the couch the baby started to tumble around. Camilla quickly came over and giggled as she felt it kick. Hyrum wanted a turn next and couldn't hide his little smirk. They sat around me for the next little while taking turns feeling baby. A sweet moment I will treasure always. Then they skipped off and let their imaginations run wild until dinner. I snuck upstairs and started some tomato herb bread to go with our soup. We enjoyed it for dinner hot out of the oven, smothered in butter. All in all, a pretty productive day I'd say!
