No.110: Our Extraordinary Ordinary Life // April 2018 Edition

A monthly project featuring ten photos throughout the day that show a peek into our extraordinarily ordinary life.

Highlights from Wednesday, April 18, 2018:
  • I was awake at 6:00, but stayed in my warm bed for a good 15 minutes before officially starting the day.  It was cold!
  • The gutter cleaning guys were supposed to come tomorrow, but showed up bright and early today and caught me in a hot mess of an outfit: black leggings, brown socks, an oversized shirt and a navy blue sweater.  My pride is officially gone.
  • I took yesterday off from laundry (such a rebel), but made up for it with four loads today. 
  • I baked a loaf of honey wheat bread for lunch.  We ate it with ham and white cheddar cheese.  Simple and delicious.
  • We spent three hours outside in the sunshine.  The little kids dug in the dirt and the big kids learned how to make different types of knots.  I paced the driveway, drank my afternoon cup of coffee and read my book.
  • P took a morning and afternoon nap and his whiny “I want to be held always” mood changed drastically for the better.  A miracle!

      My bookstack keeps growing faster than I can read them! But I guess there are worse problems to have… 🙂
