we did it!

it's really been a great day so far. thanks for your continued prayers. i can feel them.

sawyer slept great again last night. he's pretty consistently sleeping from 10 pm -about 4 am. seriously, i don't think any of my other kids did a stretch that long til they were a couple months old! it's great. it's really helping with the whole "exhaustion" thing. i can actually think straight! (if i could just remember where i put things...)

i cleaned the bathrooms this morning (before you jump all over me, i just wiped them down, they were GROSS and i can't just let that kind of thing go.)
we did school (we've REALLY slacked up to this point. i need to review math facts and stuff with rebekah, so i might as well have all 3 doing something. it went really well. maybe i can homeschool...)
we packed our lunch and went to the pool!
it helped that the weather was a little nicer - hot, but not as humid.
i told the kids ahead of time that i wouldn't be getting in today...soon...not today. and it also helped that we had friends there for the kids to play with.

bailey and brooke checking out what's for lunch.

sawyer during his "awake" time - he slept for most of it! good boy!

rebekah - she's happy when she's back in the water. i seriously think her body has been going through withdrawal from exercise after all that swim team stuff. she asked me to do one of my exercise tapes the other day!

joshua being silly.

it was fun! and the kids are sleeping well. doesn't get much better than that!

Hooray! I was hoping you'd be able to get to the pool. It actually was such a help to me after I had Callie. Even those first weeks when it was still hard to get there, it was so good for the kids to still be able to get out and get their exercise and wiggles out. SO glad it was a GOOD day!
