Father's Day

We are going to be celebrating today as to the Father in this house is still not HOME. We should be getting a phone call from him sometime around 6pm tonight letting us know he is back in the states and within communication range. I haven't been able to talk to him in 5 days...that is so long. At least when he was in the academy we got to talk every night. Anyways, yesterday we were able to pass the time pretty well. In the morning the kids played trains, read books and played in their rooms while I did laundry and dishes. They were so good. Then we packed up and headed to my dad's for an afternoon on the boat. Amy came with as I realized I wasn't going to be able to get in the lake water with the kids being pregnant. My dad's friend invited his kids and their families along too so it was nice for GG, Monkey and Red to have kids to play with. We had 7 kids, 10 adults and 2 boats. It was a good time. The two boat thing was great because we wanted to leave earlier then everyone else so they taxied us back to the dock! We got home, bathed and in bed by 9pm. I thought that was pretty good especially since we had church this morning.

Today Red woke up first and I looked at the clock to see it blinking. I thought "oh no! we are going to be late for church." but it was the exact time I was planning on getting up :) We went to Sunday School and then church. Since it was Father's Day all the women in the congregation got up and sang to the men. I was tempted to leave and use the bathroom instead of singing since J wasn't there. But I sang even though I really did have to use the bathroom! Now we are home and just got done with lunch. We are meeting Amy at the store and getting groceries. We haven't gone grocery shopping since the end of May and we normally go once a week! Needless to say the cupboards are EMPTY! We've been without Milk for two days now...it's time. Well Brae just informed me she clogged the toilet. Duty calls...

Sounds like you had a great day :o) How do you keep it all together? Are you really organized. I think I better get with it so I'm prepared once #3 comes along! We kind of just fly by the seat of our pants.

There are a lot of days I don't keep it together :) I do like to have things simple though. For instance, Saturday night when the kids got out of the bath tub they put their Sunday clothes on so that when they woke up they only had to go potty, brush teeth and eat. But we only put them to bed in clothes on the nights they are up late and have to get up early otherwise they wear pjs! Simple and easy is the way to go...
