6 things
- Parfaits for the kids today as part of running errands (gas, post office, drug store, dog food). They (kids) are good errand runners. And a promise of parfaits got them eating cherries and yogurt and asparagus for lunch (Sis actually negotiated asparagus instead of finishing her yogurt...asparagus is not what I would have predicted the choice to be...)
- Kids eating more/better is going great. Feels good to be really focused on that...
- Today has just flown by...work in the morning and lots of personal stuff...some focused play time with the kids too...Sis and I played "farm" putting various stuffs in select locations and Luke just wanted to snuggle...
- Been reading a lot in little bits and spurts...Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (which I'm debating putting down), The Art of Photography which has some really interesting ideas as far as thinking about what you want to take pictures of and why, e.g. what are you trying to say?, Your Brain at Work, which I've read before but trying to pull out key takeaways to be more efficient/productive. And kids and I are reading James and the Giant Peach again and finishing up Winnie the Pooh and I have plans for lots more chapter books this summer...I was getting sad the other day about the kids outgrowing picture books until I remembered when I was a kid picture books and chapter books coexisted for a long time...
- Kids have been playing together just beautifully today...I'm listening to them right now upstairs...something about hideouts and pirates and a hospital and the cow stopping to give milk for some reason, lol...
- Tomorrow is the last day of preschool and I'm feeling a little sad about it. Luke doesn't want it to end, mostly I think because he likes seeing his friend Paisley there. Sis hasn't said anything one way or the other...
Happy Monday!
