Pre-Bedtime witching hour

Tonight I ended up with the triple threat piled onto my bed begging for a chapter of the Ickabog. Bear and Inhave been listening to the audiobook together, but Sloane and Esme have found the hard copy and are trying to catch up. So tonight, we had a story time party. They love it, I love it, and there were giggles galore. 

On Sunday night we played apples to apples after dinner. Corbin won every single turn that wasn’t his to be judge. How does he do it? I texted this pic to my girls because of our “No RAGRETS Credo” from our Croatia trip.

Paul and HolleeAnn came by and I made the first ginger softies of the season. Paul taught Soren a magic trick and HolleeAnn gave the girls long shoulder sweeping Halloween earrings. Sloane picked out leaves for herself and sent some bats to school with Esme for her pen pal, Mrs Batt 😂

No one goes to bed at a decent hour, which means I stay awake for hours after to decompress. And then my Provo kids rotate nights calling me at midnight like that’s a super normal thing. But I miss them all so much that I take the calls every time and get my daily Reese (and Logan) Quincy, or Ryan fix. I wonder what time of day our calls with Q will be when she’s in Seoul. Maybe this is mission prep for us haha!  And now here I am blogging at 1:30am before turning off my mother brain and going to sleep. 

Life is so full and good.
