I started off blind-folded. I had been hoping to go on a walk with the kids, but it was rainy all morning so that didn't work out. However, they were playing well in the basement when I got up so I stumbled to the couch and took apart a lego set. Not very exciting, but it could have been worse.
Once the kids were upstairs Isaac made me breakfast. The dryer broke a few days ago in the middle of laundry, so I've slowly been getting all that on the line and that was the one thing that couldn't really wait. So I made the kids help with that. It was a group effort. I did my exercises. I worked through my forms. Actually, I kind of liked doing my forms blindfolded other than that we don't have a large enough space. The kids tried to help me not run into walls, but it only kind of worked.
There wasn't much time left, but it felt like a long time. Isaac made me draw things and laughed at me.
However, I think the joke's on Isaac because when Ben came home he could tell what I drew right away! (Sunflower, bridge, giraffe)
Next, and this is my favorite part, Joshua made me an Easter egg hunt. While I was blind-folded. I told him what room we should go in. Then I told him where I wanted to search. He got me to the right place and I proceeded to knock down all the stuff. He finally resorted to just putting my hand where it should go, which was a relief.
What did I learn from this? I'm still not sure. Perhaps that I've been raising my kids well - they can do things by themselves and were willing to help me. I don't think that was the point of the exercise though.
We went to the beach to get a picture of Joshua with Big Red. It was warm out today, but still rather windy by the beach.
And then rock climbing.
