Hattie is fully embracing our Sunday routine. Just after this we went for a nice Sunday drive on a 50-mile loop that Matt has done on his bike before. I felt the need to get out of the house but didn't really want or need to go anywhere, so we toured Douglas County and checked out some fall colors. We went to Saturday night church (Hattie's first time at church!) So our day was wide open. We timed the drive well since about 3 minutes after we got home, the rain started. Charlie, Alanna and Molly (and Matt) went outside to play in the puddles.
After puddle jumping, Matt helped Alanna make some sugar cookies. She had been asking since she opened her birthday present, and I mixed up half a batch of cookies a few days prior, so we finally found a bit of time to complete the job on Sunday.
Matt brought the swing in from the garage so Hattie took a ride on Sunday evening. None of our kids have spent serious time in the swing, but all of them have used it a little. I'm thankful for it and am glad we have the foldable tabletop one, even if it does run on batteries.
The swing was a lifesaver for me with Kolbe. We ended up getting it second hand before he was born. None of my other kiddos used it but it was an extra set of hands when I needed to help one of the other little tikes. Pray you all find your new rhythm and mama gets good rest when you can.
