I Wanna Stay Here

We've had a couple of great events this weekend. Life is good.

We hung out around the house most of Saturday doing things like laundry and straightening up (actually, Wood did that while I wrote). While straightening Twigs toy baskets, I had a chance to and felt like I was slowing down a bit. It felt so good that I was able to find the space to initiate some one-on-one playtime with my boy.

We started inside the house with building blocks and then re-nesting them and ended up outside on a neighbors trampoline jumping, screaming and giggling to our heart's content. It felt really good to have no other worries for a spell. It's where I'd like to be more often!

Later, Twig had his first sleep-over and it was super successful! Wood and I had a very nice date because of the success! Thank you Did & family! THANK YOU!

As of 5 am this morning Wood departed the Bay Area... After I picked up Twig from his sleepover, we did some snack shopping. Now that we've made it home, we're still feeling the hermit-like feelings from Saturday. So much so that an offer of sushi for dinner was declined.

It's nice to hang out at home sometimes.

Well, it is friday and I'm hoping the week with twig was as smooth as it could be. I remember thinking that it was easier many times not to have to have group agreement when my husband went somewhere. I liked being the only decision maker. Now with the boys older, they have more say.

I am loving your updates and the new look and the funny new bits in your profile, Wonelle. You have such a solid voice.

I guess you have stayed there! Cuz your audience hasn't seen or heard anything for weeks! Yikes! The ebb and flow, I guess. I'll just have to be patient.
