Today was good, but the night was HARD! Zoe was having trouble feeling tired last night, or something, but she spent a lot of the night awake. She was cheerful if you held her or (as I quickly did) took her to the living room to watch a movie. But as soon as we would try to put her in her crib to sleep, she would cry. So Solomon and I, traded off staying up with her. We ended up losing a lot of sleep. Solomon rescued me about 7:30 am and took over while I went back to sleep for about 2 hours. That Made My DAY! I was able to get up and shower about 10 am, and then I launched into a very productive day!
I cleaned the kitchen while supervising the kids in other chores, so that we could then spend time carving pumpkins. I cleaned up the pumpkin explosion that was left when we were done, and roasted the pumpkin seeds (that was a huge process and I can't say that I did it entirely cheerfully). Solomon rescued me at that point and took care of the kids and making supper, while I got busy with our family costume! We are going to be the Incredibles this year, and I managed to make every person in the family a red shirt with the Incredibles Logo on it. We're going to wear black pants and keep it at that. I bought some black masks, and wer'e all set! Solomon is my Hero! I am so grateful to have had the fun of making our costumes!
So today could have been a really big disaster, but it went really well all things considered! Now I'm going to bed!
