Rebekah has been sleeping all morning and afternoon. I don't anticipate a restfull night for any of us. It's already a quarter to 7 pm! Daniel has been coughing since last night. I don't think he'll be going to school unless it gets better before then. Chad took the boys camping on Friday night. We all went up at the beginning and then all the girls went home. (The smart ones.) They woke up to thick frost on everything. The tent was still frosty when Chad showed it to me at 10:30 that morning. I know that you don't get sick from being cold, but I can't help wondering if that didn't help Daniel anyway. At least Chad got his camping urge out of his blood. I don't think they could have waited another weekend. Chad and I get to teach the 5th Sunday lesson next Sunday. Scripture study. Should be interesting at the very least. We have read the material independently, but haven't discussed it together yet. Nothing like waiting until the last minute! Fall is in the air and the leaves are on the ground. Halloween celebrations start this weekend. I have to finish the boys' costumes by Friday or Saturday. They are going to be Batman and Robin, but I am making the costumes from scratch. It's challenging, but I enjoy it. I'm protected by the fact that they are 5 and 3 years old....they won't know if their costumes are a little pathetic.
My house seems to be in a suspended state of clutter. I can only get a room or two clean at a time. By then, the wrecking crews have returned and so has the clutter. I'm very frustrated about it all, but then I try to remind myself that this is what I wanted at this point in my life and hold on the hope that as the kids get older, the house will be easier to maintain.
And now the dinner timer is going off. Late dinners on Sunday.
