Everyone is feeling the exhaustion that accompanies the end of the school year. I actually had to wake my children today or they would have missed the bus! We've had a lot of extra littles in and out of our bed during the night. Joe finally moved to the couch in the wee hours of the morning. In the middle of making breakfast I peeked in to check on him and he was drooling on the couch while the morning sun poured through the bay window and cast it's warm glow on his still body. I woke Camilla with fifteen minutes to spare. I may or may not have counted the number of school lunches I have left to pack!
Washing and putting away the cloth diapers after the kids hopped on the bus made me so happy! Every time I get lazy and use my disposable diapers I end up grumpy and wishing I had used a cloth so I didn't have to soak and scrub an outfit out. Also, how cute are those patterns?!
I used some left over chicken broth and whipped up a homemade veggie soup for lunch. The pizza knots came out of the oven just before Mr. Stannix got home, and it was delicious!
The afternoon brought us out to the coop for eggs. The boys love checking the nesting boxes and finding pretty brown eggs. With all of Hyrum's growing pains and constant hunger lately, I am grateful for these eggs! They make great breakfasts and baked goods!
With the longer days comes evening walks and extra outside time. It's so hard to call the kids in for bed when the weather is so beautiful! After dinner we went for a walk around the acreage. The kids picked all of the fluffy dandelions and blew the fluff off. My allergies were hating me by the end, but it was worth it! Since Ollie had a late nap and Fin ended up falling asleep on the couch at 4pm I wasn't in a hurry for bedtime. At days end my mom brought over some delicious pudding and I sat and ate it with a fork because there were no more clean spoons to be found.
