Today was amazing. I mean that. Ahhhh, the sweet feeling of contentment. Here's how it went.
David got up with the kids and let me sleep in until 8:37am. It was the first time I've slept in in weeks.
The kids didn't put up much of a fight getting ready this morning. Hair got combed, teeth got brushed, and clothes put on with hardly any arguing. They even ate their breakfast without any badgering from me.
Stopped by McDonald's to get an iced coffee and since the kids were being so sweet I bought them one each.
Went by Mardel. The kids played with the puppets while I shopped around the store for a bit, they even played quietly and nicely with each other AND even helped picked up the puppets when they were done (well, Benjamin did).
When it was time to leave, Benjamin helped me corral Savannah and there was minimal resistance when I said it was time to go.
For lunch they ate all of their lunch with almost no nagging from me.
They've enjoyed playing with shaving cream, whipped cream, the water hose, and a caterpillar (all outside of course) for a very lengthy amount of time. Which allowed me to surf the web and read my homeschooling book. They are very wet and stinky now but it has been every bit worth it.
The icing on the cake....Benjamin has told me a couple of times today just out of the blue that he loves me.....warm fuzzies.
Now, we're just waiting on Daddy to get home so we can eat at Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner.
Yay for a GREAT day! :)
Hope it continues because it's not over yet!
Soooo, to be continued...........
