02-10-15 Relax

Some people drink wine to relax. Some people watch tv. Me? I take baths. 

Today was a rough day, so I welcomed the idea of thirty minutes of quiet time immersed in hot water while the rest of my family slept. So all evening, the only thing I could think about was a bath

I cooked dinner...

Fed the baby...

Helped get the kids to bed...

Did dishes...

Started laundry...

And finally lit a candle and gathered everything I needed for my bath. And then this happened...


Yup! Wide awake and fussing everytime I got out of sight.) No comment that my second son is not only wrapped in a pink swaddling blanket but he is also laying on a pink princess blanket. (In all fairness, the purple butterfly blanket he usually lays on went AWOL.) 

So, naturally, this happened... 


I guess the days of solo bathing have come to an end! 



I also wanted to give a huge shout out to my awesome neighbor (and brother-in-law) who scraped off the ice from my windshield this morning before he went to work. This time tomorrow he will be holding his new baby daughter in his arms and I can't wait to meet my new niece! The first five grandchildren for my husband's parents were girls. And then came eight boys. It will be exciting to have another girl around! Maybe Baby E will even share his princess blanket with her!
