Just another day....

Today was a good day. James is still home from work this week for my surgery recovery, so I still get to sleep in a wee bit each morning while he gets the kids up for the day -what a blessing that is! We dropped the boys off at preschool after breakfast, and then James dropped Gretchen and I off at my MOPS meeting for a couple of hours, which was awesome! My new friend, Jenny, whom I met through blogging, brought me a fantastic smelling baggie of homemade pumpkin play-doh for my kids - a fun treat! We had a great little craft using paint stir sticks and scrapbook papers, and the message of the day was just what I needed to hear - all about creating a strong marriage for your children to thrive in. The rest of the day was filled with the kids playing really well together - the boys even worked together as a team to build a floor puzzle - three times over with no fighting!! Wow! And James in the kitchen making dinner for the night. I tell you, I am a blessed woman! Oh, and I actually made two batches of homemade cookies, while the kids were napping, and they turned out heavenly. We followed up dinner with church time, and a great end to the day. I love these days of relaxing and enjoying family time! Feel free to click on the picture to see larger images of our fun and blessed day!
