Trying to find the silver lining!

Troye went back to working the night shift last week. We all HATE it! But the only thing we can do is pray for something to change it; in the meantime we are trying to make the best of it. We still have some adjusting to do but hopefully we will get there! He works 6pm to 6am, so it is a long night for him and now he has an hour drive there and back! I am specifically praying for his safety while driving.
The great thing is that our new house seems to work much better for Troye sleeping during the day! He does not hear us at all and the curtains make the room black so he is able to sleep better than before!
Cam is taking it the hardest. He just doesn't understand why Troye has to sleep during the day, probably because he doesn't realize Troye is gone all night! Troye was off the last two days and we tried to make the most of the time. We had a camp out in the living room and roasted s'mores in the fireplace! The boys loved it! We also played charades... The boys current favorite game!! Today we had nice weather so it was important that we work on the greenhouse. The boys helped out but also had a lot of time to just run and play and of course find the mud! They were soaking wet and covered in mud by the end of the day! It was fun to watch!
So even though we do not like this shift and it is not easy we are trying to make the most of it and not complain! I said try! Here are some pictures of the boys in the mud and our camp out!
