Day of Rest

I love Sunday. I love having my whole family home together. I love spending time with Bry. I love not having to look at my to do list. I love going to church. I love that the boys nap extra good on Sundays…and this Sunday was nothing less than a wonderful Sunday.

Carter and Andrew have been under the weather so Bry and I took shifts taking care of them at home. I got to go to the first part of church and he the second part, hey it is better than nothing. The highlight of the day was nap time for the boys. After Bry and I attempted to figure out why our e-filing of taxes got rejected (that is a whole other story) we laid on the couch with no t.v. and used this little beauty.

We answered question after question about favorite restaurants, the perfect date if money was no issue, your spouse’s biggest phobias or fears, five things you love/respect about your spouse, what first attracted you to your spouse, good luck charms, most prized possession, and more and more. I think one of the best ones was sharing a memory from each home we have lived in…starting from childhood to the homes we have had together. We had some good laughs. We spent a long time just sitting and talking….it was wonderful!!!!

We spent some time with the boys once they got up and took some ridiculously cute pictures of them in the bath.  DSCN0952DSCN0946 After the boys were in bed we enjoyed a little National Treasure (I am not sure which one) and a very belated Valentine’s day dessert. Molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. We had the most divine molten cake on our honeymoon…I don’t know if we will ever have one that tasted that good, but this one was mighty scrumptious!

Yes, Sunday is fast becoming my favorite day too. That couples jar idea is fabulous. Where did your sister get it or did she make it? I want one! :)

I can't believe all those teeth Carter has! It makes him look like such a little boy!

It's quite possible I was the one who got you that jar. If that's the case, can I have it back? Ü I do think I need to make one though!
