My Twilight...

Today was dark.

Today was chilly.

Today was rainy.

Today was wonderful.

There is something so peaceful and serene about days like today. I know the average person craves the sunshine and wants to soak up as much vitamin D as possible, but I love a little bit of dreary weather. It doesn't leave me feeling depressed, but refreshed. I have no vampire like tendencies, but there is something beautiful about cold, crisp, rain. We have had such a busy, amazing, encouraging, inspiring, and tiring week at the yearly church leadership conference, I welcomed a day of drizzle.

I snuggled with my kids in bed this morning as they talked about Star War Lego Sets and the fact we haven't made cupcakes in awhile. We also had an interesting debate between Eli and Beaux about who wanted to be Jacob and who wanted to be Esau. After drifting off to an Adventures in Odyssey Bible story last night, upon waking Eli decided Beaux should be Esau because he needed to be Jacob. His name means trickster and he got the blessing. Eli loves the idea of being a trickster, and the blessing part isn't too bad either. We stayed in sweats, read books, cleaned the house, ate soup, watched a movie, took a nap all to the sounds of the bread machine, the dryer, and the rain ~ very nice.

In my final few hours of this soggy Sunday I plan on soaking in the tub and reading a magazine. Oh, and I might spend a little time sharpening my fangs, you never know, it could be a full moon tonight.
