On Monday Abe got up at 5am to catch the 5:40 temple session. He missed it by one minute! But he got on the next session, so it all worked out. Clarissa caught the early-morning bug and decided to get up at 5:15. It was an early day for all of us.
The morning got very busy with a play date that kept ballooning. It started off with Heather, Amy, and their kids, and then my neighbor Lydia and her kids joined in. I enjoy all of the lively commotion, but sometimes I do get nervous with so many kids running around the house without supervision. I just have heard a lot of stories about what can go wrong with sexual abuse, and so I usually try to keep the house hordes-free. We weren’t quite at horde level Monday morning…but we were sure getting close!
In the evening I made Abe take Mary to her piano lesson because I can’t figure out how to practice with her lately.
Ammon is just such a handful, and so is Clarissa. After her piano lesson, they cleaned and vacuumed Abe’s car, much to Mary’s delight. She kept saying, “Wow, you really ARE the best dad!!!” the whole time because she was so thrilled to be polishing the car. Abe was tickled pink.
