Yesterday was one of the sweetest days. Bryan was post-call, and school and church were closed due to the weather. So, after we all slept in, Bryan helped me make a big breakfast--eggs, bacon, and homemade cinnamon rolls.
While he was cracking the eggs, Jackson hopped up on his car to watch.
Besides actually cooking, this is J's favorite thing to do in the kitchen--and since Bryan was the one working when Jackson got on his car, I was able to take a picture! After everything was cooked, Jack ran upstairs to wake up Sissy, and we all had a wonderful breakfast together--something that never happens on a typical Tuesday morning.
In the afternoon, Sarah read and worked on homework. Jackson and I played Zingo, read books, and put together Batman Legos. Then, Daddy and Jack put on Hulk hands and fought each other!
The boys had so much fun playing together!
At dinner, Jackson moved his chair to my side of the table because he wanted to sit right next to me. Then, just as we do every night, we all held hands and Jack said grace. We told stories and Sarah laughed so hard so many times that I thought she was going to wet her pants!! It was the best! We gave Jackson a bath, read him a story, and tucked him in. Bryan's Tuesday night Bible study was cancelled due to the weather, so he and I curled up on the couch and watched two of our favorite shows--Fixer Upper and Parks and Rec. Then, Sarah came downstairs for a glass of water and told me that Jackson had fallen asleep in his doorway--she knew I would want a picture before putting him back in bed!
I guess all the playing and reading he did after we tucked him in (notice his bedroom floor!) tuckered him out so much that he just fell asleep here!
Just the cutest!
I was so grateful for a day at home with my sweet little family. It was truly good for my soul!
