And Runnin' Runnin'

Cooper finally had a few decent stretches of sleep in a row. After two blowouts and a bunch of feeds, he finally fell asleep around midnight last night. I was only up a few times in the night and woke in my own bed. He woke so close to our normal wake up time that I just snuggled him in with us and nursed him back to sleep. He stayed snuggled in our bed through most of breakfast prep and then cuddled Daddy before he left to take the big kids in early.

We all gathered for Come Follow Me, ate pancakes for breakfast quickly, and then Camilla headed to Seminary and Hyrum went to early morning Jazz rehearsal. I spent the majority of my day nursing, but when I had a few moments I did dishes and tidied up. We have a photographer coming to take pictures of the build for our builder tomorrow so I have been cleaning and tidying and hiding junk all over to make the house look presentable. 

In the late morning I made bread as well as some cookies to bring to the basketball game later. I picked up Camilla and Fin and Ollie and headed to the Catholic school to watch Joe play. Hyrum walked to the school with some friends and met us there. 

I came home on a practically empty tank of gas to have spaghetti for dinner and then we headed back to town to play basketball at the church with the missionaries. Hyrum brought a few friends along (they joined us for dinner too) and they all had a lot of fun together. When they were done, we drove his friends home and prayed we had enough gas to make it back to town. I fueled up, grabbed some snacks for school lunches and finally arrived home shortly before 10pm to locked doors and a quiet house. Cooper was still sleeping in his seat, so I unloaded groceries and helped the older three make ham sandwiches for their lunches in the morning. Camilla will be off to seminary and the two boys have an early morning basketball skills practice at the school. 

The circles under my eyes just keep growing. The running never stops. But we have such good conversations in the car and I love how funny my big kids are! They are so fun to be around and have such great, polite friends. I really am proud of each of them!
