This Week Has Been My Week

I know a good week is not nearly as entertaining as a bad week.

But guys, this week has been amazing.

Way less bickering.

Libby has been sleeping in till like 8 and then taking a four hour nap in the afternoon.

{Which translates into me being able to eat my breakfast and lunch without sharing.}

I’ve been able to check a couple of items off my to-do list, mainly sewing.

I’m planning on putting a quilt on so I wanted to have the other things done and out of the way.

I menu planned!

And stuck with it!

And the kids ate it!

See?!

Totally my week.

And there have also been bits of sun along the way, certainly doesn’t hurt.

With the exception of a massive miscommunication this morning with Bryce about what our summer plans are…pret.ty good week.

Aaanndd….Bryce is starting a new job.

He’s going to work for a public tax accountant with the plan to purchase the practice next January.

He’ll own his own business.

So…basically, in March, in the dredges of tax season

that I have not experienced for six years

or with six kids,

my posts with be quite different…

they will be a plea for help and chocolate,

most likely from the bathroom,

because I have not left the house for days

or seen Bryce

or gotten dressed

and the only thing I will have eaten are the salt from my own tears….

But not today!

I had this “quilt top” that I had pieced from the scraps of another quilt I had made.

The measurements were obscure.

I also had a duvet insert that my sister had given me that is toddler size.

So…I made a duvet for the insert for Libby’s bed.

And a sunrise. 

We rarely see the sun in the mornings here in the winter.

We usually have clouds that often burn off in the afternoon, but it’s overcast in the mornings most days.

And the library.

Elizabeth was telling me about her book.

Catching bubbles in the bath.

Graham crackers and milk.

I realize this is a polarizing snack.

For or against?

And reading some more.

An afternoon….well, like an hour….at the park.

Moss.

I made a shirt!

It’s a loose fit and long and will be great for summer.

 

Our girls are producing again.

Which is awesome.

Because I won’t be buying eggs at the grocery store

hoping that no one calls me out for the traitor I am.

I mean…who buys eggs from the store when you have 30 chickens?!

It’s embarrasing.

Working on reading.

See this chair?

I got it from my neighbor’s out building.

I cleaned it, sanded it, stained it.

And it looks almost exactly the same.

It’s fine, my self worth is not based up on the success of a DIY project.

Mostly.

 

 

This is a picture of the kids trying to get Bryce to jump on the trampoline with them.

They were in deep negotiations…

And after when he had said ‘yes’.

After nap grumps.

Hope you had a great week!

Feel free to leave a comment letting me know you still read, it helps.
