Saturday: warm
Today was warm, so after rest time everyone went outside for a bit.

Friday: wall
A friend of our made a Duplo wall when Trump got elected. I thought it was a great idea, so we built a wall today to commemorate the inauguration.
It was tall enough that Isaac couldn't step over it in the end.
A time lapse video of putting up most of the wall. There is one picture every five minutes. My phone ran out of battery about a half hour before we finished and I didn't realize it.
Next on the list: get Flurry to pay for the wall. I figure she owes us about $1000 in labor and parts. Shouldn't be hard to convince her to pay.

Thursday: chasing
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.
