David made this ornament at school today. Isn’t it lovely? It was his last day of school until the new year. Since Jake was home today he took David to the bus, and then Nathaniel to his flu shot, and then went to David’s school party. It was nice for me to get to sit and do some of my todos and then read a little and just rest.
As soon as Nathaniel woke up from his nap, he noticed the new addition to the tree.
We then had to move it higher in the tree cause he wouldn’t stop reaching for it. He wouldn’t even let me take a photo until it was too high for him to reach.
And when I finally did put it out of his reach, this is the look I got.
And a similar look when David and Daddy wouldn’t let him touch the computer.
But then, later, when they were waiting for Jake, the touched each other’s feet on the couch.
and laughed.
and laughed.
and then they cuddled up with daddy.
my angel.
then David and Jake made some legos together while Nathaniel ate and I worked on a craft.
and they finished it. It was a motorcycle with a sidecar.
We had planned on going to Fairyland today but it’s been pouring buckets so, once again, we didn’t get to go. Let’s see if the rest of the weekend has some dry moments so we can go. Also, at least eight boxes of Christmas presents showed up today so tomorrow is going to be all about wrapping, it seems.
But not tonight. Tonight I plan to finish off some bits and pieces and read more and cuddle up with my hubby. I’ve been really really exhausted so rest will do me good. I hope you’re resting, cuddling, and safe and sound wherever you are.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that we had such a perfectly ordinary day today. A lot of rest, all of us together, hugging, laughing, and just being present.
2. I am grateful that David doesn’t have school for two weeks. No more having to set the alarm.
3. I am grateful that I am still exercising. It’s been hard and tiring and painful but I’m at it. Day after day. Let’s just hope this works.
