Wednesdays

Wednesdays are quickly becoming one of my favorite days of the week. Vashti's been coming over after school to help me out, play with Carter and give Chase some attention. Some days Blake comes along too which is nice since she plays with Carter and I get a chance to visit with Vashti. It's a great time for me to catch up on cleaning, get dinner going or just spend time with which ever kid thinks they need more attention. The picture above Blake is taking Carter sledding. She'd had the sled in the house for weeks hoping for enough snow and someone to go with her. She was so excited when Blake offered to take her.

Vashti has been a great help and I've really enjoyed having her come over. Chase loves getting attention and it's a big help to me to have someone holding him while I race around trying to get caught up on stuff. I really appreciate how she is willing to do whatever I need help with. Last week, Vashti and Blake came over along with Sterling and Chance. It was quite a houseful. Lots of commotion but it's great for Carter and I even find that I enjoy the lively chaos. (Especially since I know it's only for a short time before everyone has to go home!) Robert's been wonderful about picking the kids up from the bus and taking them home at night. It makes a nice break in the week for me and I find myself counting the days until Tuesday when I have a playdate with my sister or these Wednesdays.

Chase looked so peaceful!
