Even though we have kept very busy this summer with awesome trips, visitors and outings, we’ve still had plenty of lazy days like today where all we did was play, play, play. I’m so thankful that the kids have great imaginations and can spend hours entertaining themselves* with books, dolls, rocks…and the occasional feather. Here they are trying to “plant” the feather.
*That’s not to say that their “entertaining themselves” doesn’t also require me to step in and referee disputes every few minutes sometimes! Especially when Jimmy is in the mix. He definitely derives great pleasure from antagonizing his sisters. But for the most part, the kids all do really, really well playing by themselves these days…which makes it that much harder for me to accept that full-day kindergarten is just around the corner for the girls. The boys are going to lose their best playmates! Jimmy’s going to have to pick up the slack and start entertaining Danny…this could be interesting. I see (more) bathroom humor in my near future!
