After a night of Musical beds I woke feeling pretty tired shortly before 7am. We had a slow, Saturday morning and pancakes for breakfast. Hyrum ate four of them and I could hardly believe it! These boys are growing so much and soon I will have to triple what I make for food. The rest of the day was spent playing lego, enjoying time outside and laughing together. The older kids spent a lot of time pushing Ollie around the acreage in his little tikes car. It's his very favorite thing. He is in heaven here and loves that he can go outside without a lot of supervision. It's so nice having the extra space and not having to worry about street traffic and lots of people. They munched fresh garden carrots all afternoon while they played. I spent the afternoon cleaning up and organizing a few rooms.
I managed to make a batch of bread and get the dishes cleaned up. As I washed dishes I watched out the kitchen window while Ollie helped Gramma pick carrots in the garden. He wandered to the strawberry patch and picked one strawberry at a time, bringing it in each time to get washed and then eaten. When he had finished the juicy berry he marched back across the yard to the garden in search of more.
We had a few friends over this evening for a fire and a hot dog roast. All of the kids ran around wild, climbing trees and playing ball. Ollie may have finished off everyone's pop, and especially loved the grape flavor! It was fun to get together with a few families and watch the kids play together too!
As Mr. Stannix and I chatted today and I expressed my feelings and emotions to him, he turned and smiled at me. "Life's an adventure!" he said with a smile. Indeed it is. And there is no one else I'd rather adventure with then my dear Mr. Stannix.
