Long Days Ahead of Me and Behind

Today has been a hectic day. I've been under the weather with a crummy earache and what appears to be a cold and the little ones were in rare form, Hannah especially. She was so upset and refused to take a nap much to my dismay. I was hoping to get a little rest before they went full speed on me again! But she just wanted to go outside and play. Liam and Hudson were relatively good and happy throughout the day. But poor Hannah needed some cheering up.

So, I loaded the children into the car and we went on an adventure. We drove by the Provo Temple and then went around town a little bit. The kids had a great time. Hannah was a lot happier because of this little adventure. And I was grateful for that!

After our little excursion, we went to the store and picked up some treats to enjoy when we got home. Hannah wasn't too thrilled about being home but the treats convinced her to give it a try...so my two older children enjoyed watching Tangled and eating yummy treats while I took care of Hudson.

Overall, the hecticness of the day was outweighed by the joy that spending time with my children brought. It was great to see their smiling faces and to share those moments with them.
