Well, as this week comes to a close, we had a sweet and lovely day here. It started with exercise of course and then some family photos.
My sweet husband made me laugh today. He makes me laugh so often and so much. I adore him for that.
Then we tried to get one with all four of us looking at the camera.
Alas, that never happens.
See the zit I have? I didn’t photoshop it out. This is about life. Real life.
And then tickle time. Nathaniel’s started kicking and headbutting during tickle time recently hence me holding his head.
And in case you think I don’t laugh during tickle time too. I do.
I love tickle time with my heart and soul.
I wanted to do something for family-time so we decided to go to San Jose Children’s Discovery Museum. We drove all the way there only to discover it was closed for another two hours. After feeling terrible we changed route and went to Happy Hallow Zoo instead. We saw the lemurs.
Fed some sheep.
had a little attitude.
climbed.
ate a yummy lunch and watched more animals.
on the way out, the kids held hands.
inspected all the dinosaur paw prints on the ground.
There were many many many.
And the boys touched every single one. (Until I had enough and we aborted the project. But it was super cute seeing them holding hands and laughing.)
Then we came home and it was naptime for the little boy. David played on the computer a bit and then with his legos. I sketched, art journaled, and journaled. I also prepared most of my newsletter which will hopefully go out tonight. Then we played and laughed a bit more. David and I started a new book. Ate dinner, watched a bit of TV, and read stories for bedtime. The boys are in their beds, both reading now. I cannot think of a lovelier way to end the day.
Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for our family photos. If you’re not doing this, I cannot recommend it enough. It has become my very favorite project.
2. I am grateful for a wonderful family trip to the zoo and some great time with the kids.
3. I am grateful for a few more quiet hours before the day is over.
