What a long day!

We had a bit of a busy day around here yesterday. Here are a few highlights:

*6:30am - I get up and study my lesson for Sunday. It is a long one and it will take me a while to get through it!
*7:00am - Sarah wakes up not feeling well and I get to clean up puke first thing in the morning - hip hip hurray!
*8:00am - Brendan has already gone to school and I trying to get my girls out the door. They have other plans though and just want to play. In between everything, I feed Gideon and try to deal with Sarah who is screaming because she puked again.
*8:45am - Grace and Anna are thankfully gone to school and we are now waiting for Becky's bus to come.
*9:30am - The installers arrive to put in our new windows.
*10:00am - I have to leave to take Gideon for his 4month immunization shots. He is such a good baby though - he cried for about a minute and never made another peep all day! He is now 16lbs 7oz and 26 3/4 inches long.
11:30am - I pick up Anna from kindergarten, Becky comes home at 1pm
1:30pm - The windows are completely installed - YEAH!!
1:45pm - We head to the church to help make compassionate service meals - I was excited to help make them and not be the one receiving them!
3:00pm - We head home and try to get Sarah to have a nap - thankfully she did nap for about an hour!
4:00pm - Grace comes home with a friend, Brendan had been home for an hour to do his homework and by now has a friend over too who also stays for supper.
4:30pm - I start making supper
5:45pm - Matt's home and we can eat supper
6:30pm - My piano student shows up for her lesson
7:30pm - I take off to go grocery shopping. It had been 9 days since I had gone for groceries - we were scraping the bottom of the milk and produce barrel!!
8:30pm - I get home and put away all the groceries (Matt and Brendan helped:)), finished the dishes, and finally got to relax!
I know there are other people out there that have even busier days than I do, but I am really glad that most of my days are a little less stressful than this one was! I really do love my new windows. The installer made a few comments that made me laugh. He mentioned that he had never seen windows put in like ours were and called it "inventive" and "frugal"! Oh well - at least it is done right this time!! Here are a few pictures for you.

I also got some really cute pictures of Gideon. You would never guess that he just had three needles that morning. He is one happy little man!

I LOVE the picture with Brendan playing with Gideon! He looks so excited to be playing with his big brother!

Yeah for new windows!! That front room window must seem so nice and bright without the crossbar running through the middle.
I am so glad you mentioned Gideon's immunizations because I had completely spaced out on James' 1 year so I ran to the phone and made an appointment half way through reading your post.....thanks!
I hope the rest of the week is a bit less busy for you.
