I love the days when we slow down and enjoy life. The days when we spend time inside and enjoy one another without the temptations of "Having to do something." Days where we the kids are content with playing quietly with their toys and each other. Days when Grace doesn't ask to turn the TV on after her hour of Wake Up Screen Time is over. Monday was one of those days.
We stayed in our pajamas until noon, reading book after book.
They devoured each book, taking their time looking at each page.
All day, everyday Grace watches the squirrels from the window. I have
never seen more squirrels in one neighborhood than I have in ours.
Once Eli was napping I threw together a little tea party. We had cucumber sandwiches
and peanut butter cookies with blueberry tea, sweetened with a little honey.
Grace thought drinking out of her little teacup was the funniest thing.
Although I'm not sure peanut butter cookies were a great combo
with the blueberry tea, Grace sure wasn't complaining!
Of course there was fighting between Grace and Eli, time outs, and tears but there is nothing like a calm day with sweet words and lots of cuddles to jump start the week.
