laziest day ever
  • Today was the last day of spring break.  We had the laziest day ever in the history of the Newbery family.  It's been years since I've been able to relax.  Like, literally years.  I finally achieved total and complete relaxation on our two weeks off.  I never thought it would be possible.  I slept until 10:45 this morning when daddy came and woke me up.  A record breaker for me for sure.  I've been sleeping very poorly since I had Lila, so almost five years now.  I feel so much better
  • Our house is a MESS.  It's never ever been this messy before.  Every square inch of it is covered in toys or hockey gear or piles of dishes.  I felt like I needed to document it because for the first time in a really long time, it didn't stress me out.
  • Lila, you composed a song and played and sang it for us.  You're so creative
  • Jane, you haven't gotten dressed for a couple days now.  You make me laugh.  You really like your robe. 
  • Katie, Jane and Lila, you played wii for a long while this afternoon.  The chorus of giggles was music to my ears.  Lila, you're really good at the sword fighting.  Jane was actually trying to beat you and you still won.  You laughed and laughed every time she was defeated
  • George, you walked around all day in mismatched untied skates.  I'm not sure why, but you were pretty adamant you needed to wear them
  • I haven't cooked dinner for a couple weeks now.  I've needed the break.  Daddy did the majority of the cooking, and you girls jumped in a few times as well.  Katie, tonight you made chicken nuggets.  Just chicken nuggets.  Nothing else.  It was a big hit with all the kids.  Jane, as usual, you got creative with your sauces and dips.  You had four of them.  Lol. 
  • After dinner you guys colored for quite a while.  Lila, you were wearing your long socks on your hands.  I asked you why, and you said "because it makes me so beautifuw"
  • Lila, you were angry about having to go to bed.  You laid in your top bunk and yelled "I don't wike mutta (mother)" over and over and over again.  I enjoy your vibrant energy, fire and spirit
