sweet ending to a troublesome day
 The past few days we have started a routine, the youngest munchkins and I, of going outside just before sunset and riding bikes in the cooler evening air. Desert air at night feels wonderful after the hot,dry day. The sunsets are beautiful over the mountains. Last night my dh came home very late from work, the oldest six were gone for midweek youth activities at Church, so it was just me and them. While we were outside, Daddy came home and that caused a great deal of excitement. We came inside and while I finished a few things from the day, he baked cookies and made fresh lemonade with them. They let me have some too.  With the fresh cut lemons, a fresh clean smell reached me all the way in the back room. I came running out thinking someone was playing with the spray cleaner, LOL. Nope,the real thing. The older children were home by now. Bedtime routines. I have been trying to be more faithful with bedtime stories too and last night we started The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe which must be my favorite book to read aloud. Jessica has only seen the movie so she was very excited. We were reading Winnie the Pooh, which is another of my favorites, so much good humor which Jessica got but Sarah did not. Wonderful peaceful ending to a not so peaceful day. And today is Ryan's 17 birthday. He already received his present, a sweet cell phone with lots of features so today is just about the cake. And for lunch, we are going to have a picnic down by the river.  |
