I can't remember the last time all of our family spent the evening at home together without any interruptions or something to do. We are usually busy playing music, teaching music, playing whichever sport is in season, and fulfilling our responsibility of getting the boys to and from their practices or games. I'm unsure how we got so lucky tonight, but here we are, all together around the lighted Christmas tree, while enjoying one another and counting our blessings. Here's a rundown of tonight's activities:
- We made vegetable beef soup and grilled cheese sandwiches on the George Foreman grill.
- The boys and I rehearsed the worship set for Sunday morning's service while the soup was cooking on the stove.
- We're constantly switching channels between Celtics vs. Bulls NBA game and WWE Smackdown. For those who are living beneath a rock, WWE is wrestling. And yes, it is fake.
- For sure, we're running up the utility bill by running four laptops and playing with one ipod.
- I baked some peanut butter cookies again tonight. They turned out much better than last week's attempt.
And while I've been typing this, the older boys have return to their bedrooms for hibernation, Kim has retreated to the bedroom for her Friday night Lifetime Movie Network entertainment, and Tate just crawled up on the sofa beside me and said, "I just feel like snuggling with somebody... and that's you."
I'll have to finish blogging another time. Surely you understand my decision. Have a happy weekend!
