In which Luke and Zo get to be the bosses, 18/50 + thank goodness for the phone and FaceTime
- So the kids said to me the other day, "Mommy you are always bossing us around! We want a day to boss you around!" With fear in my heart, I said Zo could be the boss Saturday and Luke today. And you know, it's gone pretty well. There have been a few more treats and more TV than I normally would allow, but Zo's day was pancakes and the toy store so they could spend their allowance on toys and a movie with Ms. Pac Man and pizza afterwards and lots of bedtime stories and snuggles. Luke's day has been McDonalds (that was guaranteed to happen) and early morning skiing with Zoey and me and church with Me-Ma and another movie (Me-Ma is taking them so I can get some work done and play tomorrow) and then Luke wants just he and I to go night skiing...something neither one of us has ever done. I'm excited! They have loved being in charge...I can see doing this again...
- Skiing was so fun this morning...we went on nice easy greens and I had Zo do lots of turns with me and she looked terrific...she's also developed a bit of a fear of the chairlift so it was good to ride a short one up over and over to give her some practice and get her back to a good place with riding the lift...
- Moved everything over to a new planner this morning...I'm following the Bullet Journal craze and it's been a great way for me to stay organized...although my planners are super bare-bones, not works of art like you see all over the internet...
- Talking with my husband every day...miss him lots and lots and lots and lots...but we're doing a good job at staying connected...
- Tomorrow the kids have their first swim lesson of the winter first thing, then they are going to teach me to X-country ski...they learned in gym class at school and have seasonal rentals and are really excited about being the teachers...kids have the whole week off school and each day we have a fun snow-related activity going on...it's going to be a great week
Happy Sunday!
