Today was a normal day. We rushed getting ready this morning - I think everyone ate peanut butter and jelly waffles and a fruit pouch. We all got dressed and out the door to actually be 2 minutes early at the bus stop. This allowed me to put a new lego keychain (golden ninja) on Edwin's bookbag and then Edwin got on the bus. Lyla and Louie raced ahead of me back to the house to watch a morning show while I got everything ready (mostly my thoughts) for the day. Off to the grocery - we were out of bananas - don't know why that seems to happen every morning? Back home in time for swim lessons - Louie had a float refresher with our favorite swim coach Miss Tina today. While getting Louie out of his wet clothes, he managed to pee all over me - so some clean up was necessary. Then lunch, coloring, Simon Says...and lots of singing/dancing. Then it was time to head back to the bus stop to get Edwin. Then back home to hear all about Edwin's BLUE (best behavior) day, his bought lunch - only his 2nd day trying to buy lunch and he LOVED the chicken sandwich and sweet potato fries. Put Louie down for a nap and then time for Edwin's weekly homework while Lyla busily glued as much paper as possible together - she was making an American Flag so I didn't feel like I should tell her to stop. Then dinner and a movie (Ratatouille) while we wait for daddy to get home. Daddy gets to spend a few minutes with us as we finish our movie and then has to jump on a MBA video conference call...so I get you all ready for bed - read 3 LONG books and tuck you all in. Tomorrow we start all over...just a normal day...actually extraordinary...
Lesson: take note of these normal days - they seem to get lost in the shuffle of the super crazy days. We forget how awesome these normal days are because life gets so full. We are so blessed by these NORMAL days! :)
