"Let's have a pajama day..." --Zoey


Pajama day officially began about eight months in to my pregnancy with Ollie. I just decided that I couldn't get dressed, and if I was going to be in my pajamas all day, then Zoey could keep me company. We made a game of it--we had breakfast for every meal of the day (never really a bad thing). Now, whenever Zoey is tired, she'll suggest a pajama day. It means that we aren't going to leave the house, that we can lounge all day watching tv if we want, that we can read books under blankets--in essence, it means a family day, since we won't be seeing anyone else.

After a very fun 4th of July with the REFRESH crew from church, we were ready to chill today. The get together last night was at the Andersons. Matty, as usual, cooked up some awesome food. He discovered an interesting game called "bucket jam" that is sort of a weird frisbee game. I felt so happy and connected with our group last night. There were kids everywhere--pretty much everyone has at least two. Somehow when there are that many it is easier to watch them. Zoey and the other kids went on the slip and slide that we got for Amber and Brenna for their birthday. By the time the night was over the kids all had blue lips and were shivering, but very happy. Megan made this scary-good s'mores ice cream that was amazing. I'm going to make it one day for my team at school. So good.

Matty played golf today, leaving us to our pajama day. It was a nice break from the chaos of taking two kids on the road. . . going to watch a movie with Matty now.
