well this is my first evenng post...today i was wallowing in the euphoria of the boys delight with my roast dinner....they ate and ate and ate....it wsa very rewarding.....this mornig ifixed them english muffins and sausage and applesauce for breakfast, however, since i had let them sleep a bit longer this morning, the "van" was ready to leave and nothing stops the van, so i wrappped each english muffin around the sausage and covered it in a paper towel and sent each boy on their way....when Michael got home, he said they said that was the best breakfast ever......this evening i fixed tortilini and meatballs with spaghetti sauce which did not go over too well....oh well......i have cleaned up the kitchen while the boys were outside with their waterguns(it has taken me days to get them to understand that waterguns are "outside" toys--they seem to only bring the waterguns out when their daddy is away) while cleaning up the kitchen, i was occassionally needed to provide ammunition for their battles...they came in soaked, which was a perfect segue to showers....presently they are all clean and finishing up their day....Michael and i sort of share this time...sometimes he has complete responsibility of boys and sometimes i get to participate in the evening rituals...the boys seem to be settling in to and really enjoying the routine of having me here and being able to spend time every day with their daddy.....tomorrow i am going to pick up aidan and Michael jr. from school s the end of the day, while Michael Sr. picks Brendan from choir tryouts.....i am unable to express how much i am loving this time with the boys and with Michael...i feel God's blessings daily and i pray His blessings on all of you.....jk
