A night

Orion was dropped off at half past five.


It started raining about about half past six, and we had to be inside. It rained pretty much all Saturday night and Sunday morning. After the little bit when he first got here, we weren't able to go back outside.


It's amazing how tired screeching toddlers makes you. By half past seven in the evening, I needed coffee. As in, Hubby actually had to make me coffee. I was afraid I wasn't going to make it.

Henry loved following the big boys around. I don't think he was appreciated, since O doesn't have any siblings.

Thankfully, O is a bit of a movie watcher, so we went through the Toy Story box set, and the kids laid down to watch movies while I caught by breath and widened my eyes a little.


I don't know how, but I got those two children to go to sleep at 9:30pm. I was asleep before 10. It's a good thing, because I wouldn't have lasted even with that mug of coffee.

Henry woke up at 5:30am (way early for him), Spencer at 7:30 (late for him), and Orion at 8:45. There was more Toy Story and some fort building. And there were squash waffles. and ham and cheese sandwiches. And grapes.


And when he went home at noon, we all waved goodbye, dropped in exhaustion and agreed that we are very satisfied with two children. Nice for more to visit, and even nicer for them to go home.
