Today was seriously one of the laziest, most relaxing days we’ve had in a very long time, and I enjoyed it very much.  Since we set the clocks back an hour last night, the kids were of course up super early, but we all laid around in bed watching cartoons for about 45 minutes before technically starting our day by getting up and ready for church.

After church, we came home and did very little the rest of the day.  Both of the kids had a lot of fun working in their new Halloween coloring books from Aunt Theresa, and Ben worked especially hard on some sticker puzzles she gave him.  Emma had a three-hour nap, which was desperately needed, and Daddy got a short nap in for himself, too.  I enjoyed watching the Bears game without interruption for once.  It was great, and they even looked good and won!  We had a couple of battles over wanting more candy, but Ben didn’t beg for it too much, so I was happy with that.

It was one of those days where Dave and I look at each other, smile and say, “This is the good stuff, Honey.”  The kids were in good moods and had fun playing with each other.  The crying was at an all-time low, I think.  Ok, sure, Emma did fall off the back of the couch downstairs, got a big lump on her head and cried really hard for a few minutes, but hey, no day is completely perfect, right?  Overall, there wasn’t a ton of chaos in the house, and we all spent some really enjoyable time just chillin’ out together.
