Sunday: got better

This morning was a bit rough.  The kids and I had different expectations about breakfast and time management, and so Isaac was sad I rushed him out the door and Joshua was starving because he didn't eat second breakfast.

But then it started to get better.  Isaac finished all the pages of a math test that he needed to finish faster than normal.  Joshua went to a fun birthday party while the rest of us played Apiary.  (Isaac and I tied, but I won on the tie-breaker.  So, per tradition, I had to put the game away at the end.)

I send Isaac some desmos equations that returned swirling hearts.  He gave me a single heart back:

And then one of his chores was to send me a text (so that we can keep his free wi-fi number) and he sent me this, which is so true and cracked both of us up.

And lastly I sent a quick thank you to the mom of the birthday party and got this lovely text back:
"Joshua is an exceptionally kind person. He really cares about how other people feel. "
