I read some people's blogs, people I don't even know IRL, and I think "I want to be like you when I grow up". Sure they probably don't share their "ick" days. Their "I want to pull my hair out and run away" days. But the days they do share? Love them. And I think I needs some more of those days in my house. Days of long walks and lego building and painting and random picture taking and homemade soups and picnics and, and, and......
I'm seriously thinking of taking a screen sabbatical. Not 100% of the time. I would still need my computer for work. And my handful of fall tv shows at night. But during the day - when the kids are around - no screens for me. Or them. Call me crazy! It's ok, you can, I'm calling myself crazy! But I figure with no screen time there's plenty of time for all those other things.
We forgot to pick the mail up on Friday. Husband just got it now (late Saturday night). We will have two very happy children in the morning. They each got a magazine in the mail! Free magazines - Lego and American Girl - and on the same day. Ya gotta love the little things!
Today I made two dozen chocolate chip muffins. A double batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and a big pan of granola bars. The big plan is to package them up separately and put them in the freezer so they can easily be added to lunch boxes. Boxes. Plural. Still having a hard time with that one. Thankfully the kid is LOVING kindergarten. I knew he would. But man, we're really going to have to take advantage of his off-school days. Do a bunch of fun stuff.

mmmm baking! this week boy1 noted that i made THREE snack type things. so it is rare around here but definitely something to get back into. i would totally do a no screen challenge with you during the day... as of now, i usually have it on for music anywho [ok not the computer though, that may be tougher since it is my job too], and want to limit the amount of shows i have in the evening... it can get to be pretty time consuming!
ps. you should totally update your header too ;)
