Clarissa snapped this photo in the morning. Why, I do not know.

In the morning Abe and I slept in the most we have in a while. The kids had gotten us up all night long with various things. Poor Lydia spent a lot of the night puking, and other kids had accidents and nightmares. By the morning we were grateful Basil was boarded so Abe could sleep in and I could lie in bed reading a book until 10 am. (It was The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry and it was delightful.)

Later in the afternoon we took everyone but Lydia to the park. Abe enjoyed swinging with Clarissa. I just enjoyed being there with my family. It was a lovely afternoon.

In the afternoon Mary baked delicious candy cane cookies. We all watched The Great British Baking Show and munched her cookies while watching.

At the end of the day Abe and I kept exclaiming to each other how much we deeply enjoyed this do-very-little day. It was so, so wonderful. Can we have a lot more of these, please?
