Thursdays are my long day, and after work Ben and I went to a kindergarten meeting. So we crashed on the couch. The boys came and went, but then they played this game of chase for five to ten minutes.

Wednesday: doctor
I finally went to the doctor for my cough. It's been annoying, but really only a cough and no other symptoms.
She said it just goes away in four to six weeks. I was glad that she didn't give me an antibiotic just to give me one.

Monday: pipe cleaners
Joshua pulled out his Christmas pipe cleaners tonight.
Puppy Dog got a collar, leash, and crown.
Ben and I both got crowns; Ben also got a mustache.
Joshua ended up with glasses, although he had a crown at one point too.

Sunday: Love
My children like to say my name, especially Puppy Dog. "Mom Mom Mom Mom Mom Mom..."
They like to say it when we're waking up Ben and trying to be as close as possible to me. "Mom Mom Mom Mom Mom Mom..."
They like to say it when they're happy, running, or hoping I'll stay a few extra minutes at bedtime. "Mom Mom Mom Mom Mom Mom..."
It was a bit annoying, until I read this verse from Psalm 113: "Just to speak [God's] name is praise" (The Message) and I suddenly got it. God is beyond words, and so sometimes trying to put words to why he is worthy is pointless.
To a much lesser extent, that's what my boys are doing. They just want me to know that they love me. So much that they don't have the words. It makes the repetition more bearable and understandable.
However, I will still laugh when they try to get closer to me for one second before we get up to go read together at night because they can't stand to be apart from me for even that long. Or in the mornings when they try to snuggle even closer then close.

Saturday: circuit
I accidentally made the circuit we've been trying to make...where one light is on and then you flip the switch and the other light is on.
Of course, Isaac then wanted one, so I had to figure out what I did. The resistor is the key.

Friday: Betsy
Today was a fun filled day, much of it spent with Betsy.
We brought the kids to the aquatic center. Isaac had a good time, although I'd be hard pressed to tell you what he did except swing for ten minutes. Joshua stuck very close to me. He went down the slide once at the beginning, but that was all. He didn't seem bored though, just a bit overwhelmed and was taking it all in.
This evening Betsy and I went to see Hidden Figures. It was excellent. The crowd reactions to some of the segregation removal was interesting...not only where they happy it was happening (obviously), but there was some cheering and snapping and clapping. Not too much, but I'm not sure I've heard that much in a movie theater before.
