Lily and I both had good days today, but by the end of the day, we were both completely spent. It’s back to reality where I have a grueling work schedule, and Lily is in high-power parenting mode until she fades from exertion at the end of the day. It’s nice to know though, that while Lily and I are busy adulting, our children still get to be children. Today, Lydia’s medieval dress came in the mail. She earned it as a grab bag through Lily’s Summer Carnival system. Lydia wore it all day today, and absolutely loved it. Doesn’t she look great?
My work day actually wasn’t too bad because I paced myself and I had a couple of meetings cancel, but the day (including my big morning run) was still enough to cause me to feel very spent at the end of the day.
Lily spent tons of time with the kids, helping Lydia on the harp, reading to kids, playing with kids, attending to kids, cleaning and lots and lots of cooking. Dinner was AMAZING.
After dinner Lily and I hung some pictures in Ammon’s room. We both felt very stressed from the day once everyone finally went to sleep and it was nice to walk off the steam together on this beautiful Summer night.
