The best Sunday

It all started with sleeping in...8:30am on a Sunday that's very good for us. It's nice when you can wake up on your own and feel rested. After the wake up in bed we headed to the kitchen for breakfast which we decided to take outside since it felt so nice. We sat there as a family just talking an enjoying the morning light. Once breakfast was over Adam and I stayed out in the back for about 1 hour 45 minutes just talking while the kids played. It was fantastic and although we were hurried to church, which I hate doing, it was totally worth it. We were even 10 minutes early...Go figure.

After we came home and ate everyone pretty much took a nap. Love that about Sunday afternoons. We all surfaced around 6pm to find Adam and Bella making cookies. What a delight. Love fresh chocolate cookies. We finally had to wake megan up at 7pm because we were afraid to let her sleep any longer because of the night before. Rewind to Saturday night...while at Jill's Megan fell asleep at 5pm and stayed asleep until 8:30am this morning. We knew we'd be pushing our luck to think she would do it again. Anyway, after cleaning up the mess we went outside and watched the sunset while the girls play/explore. Eventually Adam and the girls went crazy spinning and playing like they do. I always love to watch how much fun they have together. When it got too dark we went back in the kitchen, all of us sitting around the counter and drew pictures. Bella asked me if she was "picture smart". Not sure where she got the term, but I told her we can all be picture smart in our own creative way, that's what's so great about art. She was thrilled to hear this and made drawing after drawing. Actually on one of them she said, "don't look, when you see this you're going to faint". It was such a funny thing to say Adam and I busted up laughing. She then proceeded to draw a self-portrait.

These are the days that I love. Being together as a family. Enjoy one another company...Talking, playing, and having the best time.

It's simple. It's us. It's the way we love it.
