Last evening I decided we weren't going to church today. Call me a horrible human being, but I could tell this family just needed to sleep for a variety of reasons. I must've been correct too, as it is 10:30 and all three children are still sound asleep.
I knew Robert would sleep well. He had a six hour track meet yesterday in 30 degree temps. It was a bright, sunny day, but your body still works hard to stay warm. He is throwing discus again this year, and has also been drafted to pole vault. He wants to run, but the coach is not encouraging of that. I'm not entirely certain why, although this coach is not my most favorite person in the world. I don't question his knowledge, but I do worry about the way he interacts with the children. High school or not, they are still kids and I prefer the supportive method rather than militant. There was a mass exodus from the track team this year so perhaps I am not the only person who feels that way.
Thomas had something of a dramatic day. His good friend came over to spend the afternoon, and they had a blast. Later in the day he was carving some wood and his hand slipped. He knicked his hand, and you would've thought a finger had been amputated. The screams were awful. He wouldn't even let me run it under cold water and kept fighting against me. It was such a small injury but certainly involved a lot of drama! He was pretty wiped out from that as well.
Catherine has been fighting a cold all week. It's nothing serious and she hasn't felt awful, but I knew that some extra sleep wouldn't hurt her either. She enjoyed spending the day yesterday in her pajamas, and I don't blame her.
It's still chilly here and supposed to rain later today, but for right now the sun is shining. Happy Sunday to everyone!
