The plan had been to do some errands this morning. However, we were pretty slow in getting ready. Then, just a few minutes before leaving there was a squirrel by the bird feeder. Isaac and Joshua went outside and chased it away. But that began the great morning.
First Isaac declared that "it's a nice day for a party" and brought out all the kids' place setting stuff - spoons, plates, glasses. I thought about telling him no, but then I realized that I don't really care. What's the worst that happens...I have to put it through the dishwasher?
That didn't last as long as I was hoping, so I gave them each a cookie for their party. While they were munching, I started my school work.
They proceeded to play inside and play outside, to play with balls, and to sort of play with each other for the rest of the morning. I interacted with them and helped dry some tears, but mostly they entertained themselves.
We went for a short walk to visit some neighbors, had lunch outside, and naps. Isaac wanted to play outside a bit more, so we did that.
Then off to the gym for racquetball. I played much better than normal, and we had some awesome volleys. I even won a game!
The rest of the night has been pretty normal, but I do like our routine.
