We had Sunee's little girls over all day while she is at Youth Conference with her older kids. It was so fun for the kids to play and swim all day.
I woke up feeling kind of sick. Unfortunately I think I caught it from Lance and Austin. I was a little worn out and wishing things were more orderly and clean, but I tried to just enjoy the day. After Lance swam for a while, I brought him in for a nap. Then I went back out with my book and sat on the lounge chair while the kids played and swam. I'm currently reading Mrs. Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Julia LOVED that book, so I finally picked it up. It's really interesting and strange. I had a relaxing afternoon.
After swimming, I took a shower and got fixed up. Greg came home and ordered pizza for the kids. We hurried out of here, taking Eliese and Avree home on our way, and headed to Outback Steakhouse for our date. We are doing so well with our All-American Slim Down, and we had a fun date eating and talking. We are both itching for a project or something to sink our teeth into. We have spent so many years working toward our next goal or big accomplishment. It's a little strange to have arrived, and to just try to enjoy the here and now. We are learning and figuring it out.
When we got home, I was so surprised to see that the kids had cleaned up so well. They had made no-bake cookies and were nicely watching a movie. The kitchen was sparkling, and apparently, Miles had done most of the work. I was so thankful.
We told the kids to get ready for a big day of work the next day and then had family prayer and sent everyone to bed. It's been a great day.
