pea soup for dinner

sam and will took charge of dinner tonight.

they made a version of pea soup.

this was their recipe...

it was more of a surprise dinner.

they made it for us while we were spending a few minutes alone, talking.

it has been a pea soup kind of day around here.

pete went back to work today,

and we had some interesting moments.

i think it's safe to say that we are going to need to find a new rhythm.

i think it will get better once maggie feels like a part of the family instead of just an honored house guest.

the boys are loving our house guest.

i'm just not sure that i'm loving their excitement level about her.

pete reminded me tonight that they still need lots of love.

after sending the little chefs to bed at 7:00 i remembered that.

i laid with each one of them a little longer than normal.

sam was all smiles and said "isn't this great, mom!?"

and that part of the day was great.

here's to hoping that tomorrow is a little greater than today.

and here's to hoping we don't have to have pea soup for dinner again.
