They made a "leaf pile fort" and found some great "shooting sticks" to entertain themselves in this spot for a good half hour. The wonderful world of pretend adventure play with little boys!





The boys collected shells and stones and sticks and leaves and took turns throwing each thing into the water and, once again, guessing what would sink or float. I was still sprawled on the grass resting. I determined that if I could hear them talking and laughing and if no one was crying and there were no frantic splashes from the water, all was well.


When we came across some ducks, I was an immediate hero when I drew two pieces of bread out of my pocket. Granted, they were rather smooshed and crumbled, but the ducks didn't seem to mind. Good thing I was thinking ahead.


And now the day is almost done. They're at Gopher Buddies with Dad, and I'm debating between ice cream on the couch, running errands by myself, or taking a hot bath. What to do, what to do...?






That doesn't sound like nothin' much to me! What a day & contractions, too!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you got an evening alone...I'm hoping you chose the ice cream & then the nice bath!!
