Ahhh, Tuesdays . . .

Tuesday is just about my favorite morning of the week. Why? It's the only day I have somewhat open. Monday - vaccuum, and clean bathrooms, then gym to teach and work from home. Wednesday - laundry, mop floors and dust, gym to teach then work from home. Thursday - Walmart (groceries), do preschool with kids, work from home. Friday - gym (for fun), work from home. Saturday - work from home (most of morning). Of course, there's all the in between stuff, like stimulating your children physically, mentally, spiriutally, and socially. Obviously, I feel great comfort in structure, but I also love my no plans Tuesdays!

This moring, after feeding the kids, kissing Matt goodbye, paying bills, and getting dinner in the crockpot, I started on a soup I love for lunch to avoid the whole meal rush at lunchtime - Yes, three meals down and it was only 8:30. After that, Aidan and I made gingerbread men cookies while listening to Christmas music. I love Christmas music and the feeling it fills our house with. It was so peaceful, meditating (I love to cook/bake) and fun. Ella chose to draw instead as she is in love with our nativity scene constantly playing with it. She was all set to draw every character. I think I'll frame this one. I treasure my Tuesdays. I treasure mornings with no plans - who knows what peace and fun they can bring.

Photos to come

I want to see the picture of Ella's nativity! You'll have to scan it in.
And who did your family photos? I love them?

You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things.

Playing Opposites

I have been discussing opposites with the kids lately. Today (Oct. 1 ) we were doing an opposites puzzle and Aidan was doing amazingly well (turned 3, 3 months ago). There was a picture of fire with the word "hot." Here's the conversation: Me - What's the opposite of hot? Aidan - warm. Me - Well, not quite. Okay, fire is hot. What is ice? Aidan - slippery! LOL :)

Aidan - "See, I can do opposites with my toes!" ??
