Happy Friday!! Love Fridays. Especially Friday evenings. Especially on a weekend where we have no commitments.
While I was making lunch for Nathaniel, my mom called us on Skype and my nephew was there too so he made lots of gestures to try to get Nathaniel to imitate. Nathaniel watched with great interest.
And tried to imitate a bit.
He clapped and opened his arms and waved and we all laughed. Mostly at the joy of our kids interacting over such a long distance thanks to great technology.
When David came home, Daddy came soon after so he took him for a short bike ride.
And when Nathaniel realized he was being excluded from the adventure, he wasn’t happy. Not at all.
But when they were done, he made sure to put the helmet on a few hundred times and he even got Daddy to put him on the bike for a minute. Oh the little boys who get their way.
We have a friend of Jake’s coming over for dinner tonight. We normally get Turkish take out when we have rare guests. And tonight is no exception. But since I am trying to be so much healthier, I ordered salad for me and made sure the appetizers are things I dislike but Jake loves. Trying, really trying.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that despite feeling tired and not up to it, I still walked today. Only 1.3 miles but better than nothing.
2. I am grateful that I finished a bunch of crafts projects I wanted to finish this week. Consistent and steady always works.
3. I am thankful that my plans for this weekend are quiet so i will scrap some, read some and try to get ahead of my todo list for a change. Oh and cuddle up with my family a ton since I am leaving town next weekend.
Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. taking my batman book to school for share day
2. riding my bike with daddy
3. getting a wolverine silly band
4. watching a little sprout (yes, hanging head in shame.)
It’s never fun to feel excluded from fun activities, but he’ll soon be able to take part!
I’m glad that you seem to be feeling better, less tired and less in pain than a few days (weeks?) ago.
Our little family is sick as well (the usual cold with runny nose) but I’m beginning to feel the excitement for all things Christmas. I’m really looking forward to seeing what you’ll come up with for your December Daily this year!
