Nature Hike

I have had the most awesome week with my kids. I have tried to truly appreciate the SAHM gig this week. Monday was a storytime adventure at the library (sorry J for leaving with your keys!!). Tuesday was dance class and lunch picnic outside here at home. The neighbors dropped by for a bit with fresh kumquats and conversation. Tues night was a Bounce birthday party for a little boy in our homeschool group. I left J at home with Daddy and I took L & S by myself. It was so wonderful having that quality time. And Daddy had his first time alone with Baby J. Everyone did great. Baby J refused to look me in the eye when I got home. I remember L doing that when I left her alone once too : -)

We went on a nature hike with our homeschool group today. It was so much fun! And I loooove my jogging stroller. Having the stroller really helped me to stay involved with L & S and keep J nearby without having to wear him the whole time. He enjoys hanging out in his Moby but seems to like being "on his own" in the stroller sometimes too. Best of both worlds!! L and S picked some flowers along the way. I enjoyed watching L interact with the other kids today too - she was much more relaxed today. S still hangs back some but really enjoys his "journey". S was a wonderful Big Brother to J today. He was trying to comfort J on the ride back to the van. J was having nothing to do with it but S just kept on trying!

L enjoyed all the wildflowers today.

Picking flowers - look at those eyelashes!!

Today was just a nice day. Exactly what I always thought staying home with my kids would be like. Other like-minded women with similar interests and ditto with their kids. Wonderful time!!!
