Healthy again, MagnaTiles and lessons, The Leftovers

1. Everyone is feeling MUCH better. Quite the sickness that took down Luke and me last week...
2. One of my resolutions for this year is to be present...and how that's translating into day-to-day is I've been spending half an hour with each kid doing whatever they want. Luke's been wanting to build with MagnaTiles with me, and Zo is doing lessons, so we rotate from activity to activity with her dictating what we do, eg, draw a picture a certain way, tell a story, use potty talk, build a tower, etc. Time really does slow down with these focused activities and the kids absolutely love having my undivided attention and getting to choose what we do...
3. Nice warm hike with the dog yesterday...
4. Sleep tuck-in for both kids last night...
5. Snuggled up with my husband on the couch watching Season 3 of The Leftovers...

XOXO
