A Quiet Day

For the first time this week, the big kids went to school. The buses haven't been running all week, but they caught a ride in to school with Daddy. 

 

The house felt really empty, and I spent all morning snuggled on the couch nursing the babe while Ollie and Sawyer played at my feet. It kind of felt like a breath of relief after a busy few days with everyone home. I miss them all when they are at school, but the quiet was welcomed.

 

Lily has started smiling at everyone! It's one of my favorite things. I really didn't get up to much today as far as house work goes. I caught up on some laundry that needed folding and visited with my parents for most of the afternoon.

After lunch I tucked Sawyer in for a quick snooze, knowing I'd have to wake him to drive in and pick up the littles from school. The van barely started for me and for a few seconds I worried about how I would get them home if it didn't. Lily slept snug and warm in her carseat while the little boys chatted my ear off. The littles had rosy cold cheeks when they piled into the van from their short walk outside the school. We grabbed a dozen donuts and then headed home to warm up!
