Thursday

We pretty much took the day off, today.
Which just means that I didn't follow my children around half the time, or ask them what they're doing every little while and if they're ready to come and play with me.  : )

Sometimes a Mama just has stuff to do!

The children both are sniffling as well, so it seemed like a good day to take off and to just rest.

I came across this game today whilst window shopping...
it's called ... uh... wait, let me find it  :).... "Shapes Up"! (Want to give credit where due...)
It's a tangram-type, race-to-the-finish game, with these translucent tiles.
I've never played it, and can only guess how it's done, but I do know that it has a die, cards, and tiles (it has an hour-glass too, that runs for 10 seconds, but we don't need that.)
Myself - I have tiles (or something like it), can make cards, and can also make a die.  So I did!

I made up the game.

So excited about it!!  I made ours somewhat different from their game - check out olm (too.) if you're interested.

Aaaaand.... Madd and Trev both like it very much.  !!

And I checked on our bowls - well, bowl, as ddh dumped out what he thought was A Mess in one of them.
The survivor is doing quite alright.

An' had to take care of some bloggy bizness.
(And got to order a yogurt maker!  So excited about that, too.)

So our day has looked like :

harvesting

and singing

and videos on youtube

and bowls of cereal

-and icecream-

and baths

and sunshine

and warm

and computer play

and orange juice

and rest

and puzzelts

and laughing

and mirrors (multiple reflections)

and more of the geo-dice game

and only minimal antagonizing.  (Which was not done by me.  Thankyouverymuch.)

Really a whole lot of not much.

Quite alright by me.
