Fun night tonight... Porter opted for some one on one with mom snuggled up on the couch reading "Russell's Secret" instead of heading outside to play.  Victoria was falling apart so we headed to bed early, snuggled up in bed & read "Clifford goes to the Hospital."  Everyone else came running for scriptures & prayers when called.  Tucked Porter in bed then played Cadoo with Sam, Casey, Rebekah, & Isabelle.  Got to bed a little later than planned we were just having too much fun.  Tucked everyone in with a kiss & I love you then got ready to go for a run.  Sam wanted to come for the first mile & 1/2.  We headed out... I wonder how long I'll be the one giving encouragement?  I'm sure it won't be long before they all can out run me.  I drop her behind our house & then finish my run.  It was a great night... cool, beautiful sunset, quiet accompanied by good music.  Dishes are still in the sink, beds didn't get made today, it's late... I should have been in bed 2 hours ago!  Ryan walked in the door about 20 min. ago (10:40pm).  All in all, it was a great day.  EVERYONE went to bed HAPPY!  That in itself is a blue moon event.
