Productive Day

We were scheduled to attend a "toddler" hike today. Went outside and the battery was dead again on my van! So that nixed the idea of going anywhere. I was able to turn it into an extremely productive day. My house looks wonderful! Or at least the front part of the house looks good - the back didn't get touched : -) We are having our homeschool group over on Friday for a Thanksgiving lesson and craft so the front was super important to get cleaned. The kids played outside for like 3 hours this morning and they were FILTHY when they came in. I made them strip outside so they wouldn't track any dirt into my clean house. Tonight, after Daddy Piper got home, we went and got a new battery so there shouldn't be anymore battery trouble. I am just very thankful that it was dead before we left so we weren't stuck up at the mountain without a way home. Daddy Piper did throw battery cables in the van for future needs.

Baby J seems to be eating and sleeping good so the thrush must be on its way out. I still think he sleeps too much. We see the dr on 12/4 for his 2 month appt. I can't believe in 2 weeks, he'll be 2 months old. I am so thankful that I didn't tie my tubes... Baby J might not be our last :-)

This afternoon we loaded up the wagon with the dishes our neighbor had brought dinner over in awhile back and took them back to her. It was nice to chat with her for awhile and the walk was very enjoyable with the kids. I really love being home with my babies. I hope I can do this forever. In this economy, who knows though. As long as Daddy Piper's work stays steady, I can stay home. I joined a coupon thing so hopefully I can start saving more of his hard earned money. I looked at Baby J today and the thought of leaving him put a real fear in my heart, like none I had ever felt before. I guess I just gotta have faith that all will be okay.
