Enjoying time with family.
I have discovered a new blog, Wrapped Emotions, through In The Life Of A Child.
Each week there is a prompt to do something creative. This week participators were asked to enjoy their family;
"Go, spend time with your family. Do one little bitty special thing with your children or your spouse or your mother or your sibling or your pet. Even if it’s just a great big extra squishy hug…do it.
Enjoy your family in some small, yet tremendous moment. Then post a few words, a photo…whatever symbolizes the little joy you shared."
So that’s what I did. Being away from everyone for over three days I wanted to have some quality time with the children this weekend. I needed to get some things done too, like make Ivy and Noah’s birthday party invites and send them. So I printed them off and we all sat around colouring them in. Even David and the littlies joined in. We talked about the up and coming party and coloured in too. It was fun and the kids appreciated the time we spent with them.
Here’s a photo that Dave took as we were all hard at work;
and here’s a photo of one of the coloured invites;
note the beautiful squiggles of colour artistically placed on the page by Ivy. An artist in the making!
