A Nothing Day

Our summer is moving along in the same way it does for many people I know: in the spring I saw a blank slate for weeks on end. I worried about the lack of structure and expected there would be time to do every fun thing I could think of. Now, past the halfway point, I feel like we've been awfully busy and can't find time for all the things I hoped we'd do.

Yesterday was our first day with all three boys and me at home all day, no plans. It was a rough transition. But this morning they've caught on. Jude is the only one dressed for the day. When he observed that Sam and Owen were still in pajamas Sam said happily, "Yeah, because this is a nothing day."
