Tonight was better than last night


We have a hole in the back yard that the children have created, and when it rains this is what happens.


We had a peaceful evening together, the children and I. After sending the neighbor kid home for disobeying repeatedly, the kids played great together, and they all picked up the living room mess without much yelling from me. And they were all silent in their beds by 9:00. These are my blessings for today.

Ha. Nice feeling that the neighbor kid was the one disobeying and not yours, huh? At least you could send the bad one home.

Sounds lovely! Today was lovely for us - although sad b/c the Hazens are leaving for two weeks. Jackson's lip was quivering with sadness when he said goodbye to Mel. He told me "she likes me a lot!"

I love a good peaceful day followed by a quiet evening. And playing in mud can be fun too.
