Good times

Good times were had by the boys today. I took Owen and Henry to an indoor playpark this morning, where we met some old friends and some new ones. The boys played hard for about an hour and a half. Then Oce went off to school, Henry took a nap, I did paperwork, SIX loads of laundry (generated in just! two! days!), cleaned out our planters on the front step, and just an enormous amount of other housework. After school Aidan had a friend over. Poor Ace is still getting over his cold. He and his friend played so well, but so physically! Aidan wanted to snuggle me tonight, and he wanted to go to bed at 7:15. I hope he feels refreshed in the morning.

Owen is currently working on a packet of homework that his kindergarten teacher thinks will help him with hand strength. There is lots of coloring and cutting and matching of shapes and finding your way through mazes in this packet. If he's in the right frame of mind (i.e. not grumpy), he gets really focused on his work. He is definitely proud of what he's done so far.

Today Henry followed me upstairs while I was folding laundry. He got in my room about three seconds after I did, but I still greeted him with a "Hi, big boy!" to which he responded, "Hi, little mama!"
