What day is this????

I have had such a busy week! It's been good however. I feel like I have a purpose - anyone relate?

Today my house is a wreck! And filled with shouts, requests for juice and snacks, bath water and bath sounds coming from my bathroom, counting along with the clock chimes, requests for this movie or 'watch it again!', LOUD crying and finger pointing, time outs and tons of smiles and giggles.

The house will get cleaned, the sounds will diminish but the love in my heart for these small eternal souls will grow and live in my heart forever.

Today Sheila and Matt are at the Vet's hospital with Gail, Matt's mom whilst Jim her husband and Matt's step Dad is in surgery to remove his gall bladder. Jillian and Isaac stayed over night since they had to leave Cedar Rapids at 4:30 am. Alexandre stayed over as well and it was so cute to see the three little couch/beds filling the living room (they are still out so the kids can play on them - why not!?!) When Brian came to pick up X this morning he said Robb was alseep in the car, so you know she had to have been tired. I told Brian he could just leave X and get him later on so they could go home and sleep, besides the boys are so excited to get some time togehter. They do tend to hit and throw but that's boys.

Jillian is happily playing in the bathtub ALONE. She said she wantd to take a bath by hersefl so she is. It must be fun to play in the tub with different toys! She calls if she needs anything :) When Liz was small she would take 2 hour baths! I don't think she takes that long these days.

Buddy just doesn't know what to make of all the activitiy here today. He's happy for the snacks that the kids feed him on purpose or by accident or by grabbing them out of the unsuspecting hand ha! He just mostly sits/lays and watches.

I have a pkg of ritz type crackers in here by me and every so often Isaac comes in for one for him and one for Alexandre, so Gramma has to have a kiss for each cracker trip, oh the perks of this job!

Just got a text from Sheila that Jim is out of surgery and on his way to recovery. They did the surgery the easy way, not sure what that means, but I am certain it will be better for Jim (and Gail!)

Discovery club was fun last night. Oh the precious children God has given to us. Working with the kids making the poster for the bake sale was fun. To be able to be silly with kids is such a neat thing. Oh Jesus, let them see your love for them through us!

Well, it's 10:20 am and we are all (except for Jillian) still in our pj's! I prolly should do something to remedy that but why? ha I stopped by to visit with Julia for a little bit yesterday and she was in her pj's we should have pj day! who's in?
