Sunday March 11

Today wasn't really a smooth kind of day.

We made it to church on time.....but I felt like I had ran a marathon once I was back home.

Port had a substitute, so he didn't want to go to class, so I just kept him with me.

Didn't think it would be a big deal.

But, he was so hyper and crazy....and trying to reign in 6 other 3 year olds.....it was exhausting.

But it was a fun day.....we planted some little pots for each kid.

The kids thought it was pretty fun.

I wanted to take them for a walk.....but we have not yet mastered how to be out in the halls with each other....let alone run around outside!!!

I did take a rope for them to hold onto, so we could go wash our hands after planting our seeds.

Anyway....it was a good day....but I was very happy to be home.

Port took a good nap.

The girls rested in a quiet house for a bit.

Once Port woke up....he was crazy again, and made Elsie crazy too.

So, I asked them if they wanted to sit and read for a little bit so the big girls and I could get the kitchen cleaned up.

I didn't think it would last long....so we tried to hurry.

Well, I was wrong.

They sat there for quite a while.

It was so sweet.

I guess little quiet moments like these maybe aren't so great without those crazy, out-of-hand kind of moments to compare them too, right???

Porter is quite expressive with his story telling.

And Elsie is so intense in her reading.

Just love it.
