Nothing Out of the Ordinary

I want to remember today, not because it was spectacular or because it was catastrophic. It is just a day.

Hyrum helped make his favorite--chocolate chip pancakes.

Evie had to sneak just one more--accompanied by her starfish head, of course. Who combs hair before breakfast?

Hyrum wraps himself in his blanket every morning and every night. My own little Linus. He also was using it as a cape and dashing through the house proclaiming he was "Captain Underpants."

We've adopted a green smoothie routine every morning. The kids weren't too keen at first, but they've come around. They know it's first on their menu.

See that striped lump in the background. What is that?

Just Ben, where he rolled off the chair after scriptures.

No more starfish and keeping those teeth healthy. Heaven knows what she'd do if she had another cavity.

We spent fifteen minutes looking for Micah's vocab packet, which was never found. A quick call to his teacher, and he will be spending recess redoing it. Although he left with a tear in his eye, I hope one day he will learn that he has to put things away if he ever wants to find them again.

Now they're all gone. The house is quiet. The kitchen is messy.

Just another ordinary morning.
