Now this is just my list. Andrew did lots of work....I'm just not really involved in his. The kids practiced their recorders and Andrew his guitar. They played and had time outside and Lincoln napped and had stories and we rotated toys and play times with him. They drew pictures and made messes...played lots of Nerf basketball.......but still much more to do.....
What didn't get done:
Andrew's Orthodontist appointment....Oops! I didn't even have it on the calendar?!!!?
Jackson, Lydia, Audrey's Penmanship.
Audrey and Jackson Read to me.
Spelling....
Baths.....
Folding the Laundry......
A sink full of dishes....As soon as I'm done blogging I will get to those.
No family devotion tonight......
Now this is just Monday's. Right now it is our only crazy schedule day. All the kids extras are on Monday. BUT Basketball is about to start up. So Andrew will be practicing 3 nights a week and in November games will start up.....Sophie and Jackson will have a practice and game each week too. It just adds up to a bunch!
So this is why I have to be intentional. This is why I rarely answer the phone. It is just full.....and fast....and done.
MUST.....BE......INTENTIONAL!!!!!
The good news: At least dinner is ready for tomorrow!
Dishes and Bedtime!
WHEW!! That is a killer day. . . by anyone's standards!
ReplyDeleteLove the things the Stew Crew is learning, the memories you're creating for them. One thing is certain--they will always treasure their childhoods!
Love you all. Praying for you this morning--
Lookin' up,
