a perfect day

Yesterday was truly an AWESOME day. We are starting the month of right. My intention was to have a good old family breakfast around 9am Sunday morning so we invited Grandma and Grandpa over to join us. I figured on a day when my husband is off, Wyatt (who sleeps in our bed) tends to sleep in a little longer. So we arranged for the nurse to come at 8am instead of 7am hoping we could all sleep just a bit more. And sure enough, it almost worked. Wyatt slept through the night, woke up at 630am with a full blown episode just to keep us on our toes, but then went back to sleep till 730am. Unfortunately Wyatt was still really sleepy when he finally got up and didn’t want to be put down. Therefore, my plan of having breakfast ready by 9am wasn’t going to happen. Amazingly enough though that turned out to be good thing. I had the privilege to witness my family in action in what can only be described as a rare occurrence. Everyone worked together as a team to make this breakfast happen… and wait for it… without arguing. It was breathtaking. Oh, I probably shouldn’t use that word - just kidding. It was really cool to watch. Everyone did their share of picking up around the house, setting the table out on the back porch and cooking the food. And when it was time to sit down and eat, even Wyatt was contend with the nurse for a little while just an arm’s reach away from us. Afterward the three boys tossed the football around with Daddy in the backyard while Grandma got to sneek in some snuggle time with Wyatt. We even surprisingly succeeded to keep Wyatt awake and entertained until his lunch time feed. The two big boys then got to go on a ride in Daddy’s mustang while the two smaller boys took a well deserved long nap. The afternoon and evening concluded with water hose chases and throwing burgers on the grill for dinner. It was as perfect of a day as we hadn’t had in a long time.
