Today

Today was a good day! We did not really do much of anything but it was nice to spend some time together with the whole family. Our kids woke up this morning at 6:30 and we hung out in our bedroom until probably 8:30. After we finally dragged our lazy selves out of bed we got dressed and headed out to Chaplins to pick up my car. They fixed the engine speed sensor, replaced a light bulb, fixed something that was wrong with my driver side door and replaced something that was under recall. Everything was under warranty with the exception of the light bulb.
After we were done at Chaplins we headed over to the Barnes and Noble in Woodinville to look for a book. I did not realize it but Connor and Corey have never really been in a library or a book store, go ahead judge me. Connor walked into the store and first thing out of his mouth was "Mommy there are so many books!” With that Terence and I instantly made a detour to the kids section to let them look around. They loved it so much! It was super fun to watch them looking at all the different things; they also played in the little children’s reading area. I love those little moments where you can just sit back and watch your kids be kids. They are so innocent and sweet, I love it! We bought the books we needed and headed home. Our kids were both pretty tired from getting up so early so we had “quiet time”. Connor no longer takes naps but Corey and the rest of the family do so we call it quiet time when Connor can be downstairs and hanging out but he needs to be quiet so those who would like to rest can. It works about 50% of the time.
By the time we were done with quiet time Terence had to get ready to go. He is running in a St Patrick’s Day 5k with his sister Talia tomorrow. I hope he does great! The boys and I made spaghetti for dinner then hung out on the couch watching Sonny with a Chance and iCarly until bedtime. Now I am hanging out of the couch with both dogs snoring next to me and the boys sound asleep upstairs. I just got a call from Talia that she is shopping with Terence and he is complaining about her touching everything, sounds like they are having a good time. I wish I could be down there with them; I hate it when people have fun without me. Plus it would be really fun to cheer them on at the finish line. Oh well. Today was a fun relaxing day. Looking forward to the Sabbath tomorrow.
