Tonight was a fun night just being a family.

I haven't been feeling a 100% lately and today was a  pretty low-key day. I text my husband to see when he would be home this afternoon and he said, 45 minutes.....wow the day just slipped by me. The house wasn't a crazy mess but it was in a bit of disarray. As I was walking upstairs to freshen myself up a little I was trying to think about dinner - blehk food does not sound good right now. Well when I came back downstairs I could hardly believe it!!! Isaiah and Ashley had everything cleaned up - I'm talkin' a spotless floor! And they completely cleaned up the kitchen ~ put all the school books away, set the table, emptied the dishwasher and filled it back up! I was only upstairs for 5 or 10 minutes ~ they worked so quietly and QUICKLY! I was speechless. They truly warmed my heart ~ I didn't even have to ask.......deep sigh with a smile.......

Afler dinner my husband and I decided to do a little typing challenge! I've been working with Isaiah and Ashley this year with their typing and so we included them. There's a site called power typing that tells you your wpm so we all did it. We took a few turns and my best score was....64wpm * My hubby's best was 47wpm * Isaiah best 11wpm - so sweet :) and Ashley is at 13wpm - so sweet :)

While we were waiting on Isaiah and Ashley we were challenging Noah, Luke and Elijah (wink!) with a fun guessing game! Guess who's handwriting it is. They just love a good challenge. My husband would write something on the doodleboard and then I would copy him (or vice-versa) and the boys would try to guess which one was mine and which one was Dad's. So much fun! Such silly boys ~ They would say things like, "Oh I just know Mom wrote the top one because, sorry dad your handwriting is not as nice as mom's" And yep - you guessed it - they were wrong. or this one made me crack up, "Oh! Look! This one is 'loopy' ~ it has to be MOM'S!!!!" Yep - wrong again - lots of fun! Lots of Fun!

Well now everyone is in bed and the house is......for now......quiet.

Blessings,
