What a day!

I have to admit that although I was quite busy today, I was blessed once again. Scott offered to take Garrison to work and I only had 3 to look after.  Poor Kiersten's nose is so dry it started bleeding a bit.  Caleb's cold is sounding a bit better, but he's saying his tummy hurts.  I've heard that the latest cold is associated with the flu, but I'm hoping it's not.  He fell asleep at 6 tonight and Scott took Elyssia with him to prayer meeting.  Kiersten just fell asleep and it's rather quiet around here tonight.  Just Garrison and myself.  We'll probably do a lot of reading, but I thought I'd write a bit before we settle in for the night.  When Garrison goes to work with Scott he usually falls asleep quite early and I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt to get some extra sleep too:). 
  Today we had dishes, school, phone calls, 3 rooms to clean, etc...  Although I sometimes feel like I want to complain about the amount of cleaning I have, I'm thankful that I have something to do and people to take care of.  It makes the days go by so quickly and before we know it Scott is home from work.  I remember watching the clock in the early days of our marriage. The house was clean and there weren't any children to mess it up.  I have to say that I like our current situation a whole lot better!  Here are some pics from our day.
 

Kiersten "helping" with clean up:)

Little Mommy(Elyssia took this one and got my leg while I was sweeping and cleaning the office).

Looks like he's ready to go skiing, but those are his construction safety goggles.

  The rest of his clothes are required when going outside these days.  His little coat was a great Thrift store find.  I'd been looking at new ones, but couldn't bring myself to pay $30!  I got this one for $4 and it's lined with wool, but not the scratchy kind.  Please excuse the miniature milk jug. I put them away, but the kids are constantly dragging them out.  Time for a recycle run!
