Grace in small things: Kindergarten dry run edition

1. Kindergarten doesn't start 'til next week but we're practicing the next few days with waking up and breakfast and getting everyone dressed and lunches packed and out the door etc. Today went pretty well...we were there 5 minutes early...although my son didn't have any shoes, lol...oh well...we'll try again tomorrow...
2. We went to the hot springs after driving to school because there is no school yet...so fun...and then I got the kids hot chocolates for doing so well this morning...
3. Lunch on the lawn...and I got Luke to eat more (and Zo too, although Luke's the one I'm always working on) by doing "ninja bites!" which involves me closing my eyes and then guessing what he took a bite of...
4. Lots of good, focused time with the kids today...needing time with them always but especially as Kindergarten approaches...going to be such a big change to have them going out into the world without me every weekday...
5. Warm this evening...not many warm days left, I know...and beautiful soft blues and pinks surrounding the Sleeping Giant as dusk fell...

Happy Monday!
