Rainy Day...

...but I love it! It's nice and quiet. We had a fun night last night - had the Ratz family over last night for dinner. It was a last minute thing - I was making a new recipe for dinner and realized it was going to make a ton, so I invited them to join us. We had a great time, and it was fun for the boys to be able to play since they are big school boys now. I loved getting to love on Miss Madeline - what a happy, chatty girl she is!

Started my morning off with Beth Moore and my homework. Then went for my run this morning with Stephanie. We both talked about the fact that while we don't enjoy getting up at 5 am, getting the miles done first thing and running together is so worth it! So for one day a week, it works. I felt doubly energized by the fact that I had done my homework AND run 6 miles by 6:30 AM. The kids were great this morning. No whining, no fighting (well, actually Jacob bonked Callie one time and got in trouble for that), but it just was GOOD!

Should be a quiet morning. Jacob and I will do school, and we are going to make the Magic Seven Layer Bars for dessert for small group tonight. We have storytime at 11 and then its off to get Josiah! I love today!

(ps. i had fed sawyer, run 3 miles, had a quiet time and made rebekah's lunch by 6:30 am - not bad for an 8 week old, huh? :-))

Glad you are having a great day so far! I'm with you - getting the running out of the way is the best. The earlier the better!

I didn't have that much done by 10:30! Rainy days are nice, except when you have to drive out to Suffolk. Glad it was a good start.
