At 8:30 pm this is what my house was like:

presents unwrapped and everyone smiling
dinner long ago digested
carrots resting
pie on the verge of disappearing
jerky already packed for the big hunt this weekend
kitchen moderately cleaned up

everyone happy and getting ready for birthday pie and bedtime
Today at 7:00 am this is what my house is like:
Quiet
Matt long gone for work
girls still asleep
Emmitt with a full tummy and back asleep

Aaahhhhhh . . . .

You are amazing!
I have to tell you that I read this as 5:30 A.M. My thought process, 'Holy cow what time did she start those carrots. . .and she made a pie too . . . Rachel is so amazing. . .why is she cooking spaghetti?. . . she's making dinner so she can just warm it up later-- that's a good idea. . . Kendal is doing puzzles-- go back to bed girly. . . why on earth would someone think it is okay to call you at 5:30 in the morning!?.' It wasn't until then that I scrolled up to the top to figure out if I read the time wrong-- sure enough 5:30 PM. That's better. You're still pretty amazing though.
YOU ROCK!
Wow! That is serious multi-tasking. Wish I was that good! That pie looks yummy too :-)
Rachel, you are super amazing!
Rachel, you are my Hero! That pie looked so good. Happy Birthday Matt!
Where on earth do you hide your cape? You really are supermom!
BTW...Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. As always, you are the best!
