I wanted to journal about the wonderful family night we had . . . The boys quickly did their reading and cleaned their room after school and jumped on Dad's idea to make a plan for our evening. (see their lists above) Keith wanted to play video games, stay up til 11pm, send Mom and Dad to bed at 7:30pm, and watch tv. Jacob wanted to ride bikes with Dad to the neighborhood playground. (Mom secretly added ice cream to Jacob's list :) After dinner, Kara, Jacob, and Jeff rode bikes to the playground and Keith and I took turns pushing Simon's stroller. We had such a fun time playing tag and sliding. Each "big" Ortling LOVED taking turns sliding down the curvy slide with Simon. He loved it too and would sign "more" after each slide down. (he's been doing lots of signing lately and MUCH mimicing - I was wiping down a very dirty fingerprinted wall this morning and looked over to see Simon wiping the wall with his hands :). I'm charging the camera tonight for our big Harvest Festival tomorrow - I was bummed it wasn't ready for the trip to the playground! We ventured back home and enjoyed ice cream and video game time. Everybody's sleeping soundly and hopefully all night (Mom and Dad must have been too much fun to send to bed early :)- hopefully we'll continue to be allowed to stay up late :). I love my family and am so grateful God placed us all together :)!
