We have played dangerbirdie (think fort-making plus occasional shouts of "Danger!" which drive both children into the "nest"), cleaned two closets, packed stuff up for charity, and are about to make vegetable soup. There have been Goldfish and grapes aplenty, and several Beach Boys dance parties. And naptime for Tuck brought snow-making with Miranda's science kit, and a sewing lesson...she is getting good at straight-stitching by hand, and better at playing with checkers. (It was an unusually long nap.)
After a solid month plus of some obligation every day, today was WONDERFUL. Although you could hear the screaming when I bathed my son at least three houses away...he survived and now has less than a third of the red sauce he started out with in his hair. He's not a redhead, he is just passionate about his pasta!
I am certainly ready for fall and for some time at home. Even if it is slightly less than contemplative, I am filling up on my good-stuff quota. :)

Awww... sounds lovely. Rainy? Is fall plummeting in?
Er... Finn = Your husband due to acquisition of a google account for posting comments.
Hi. If you have a particularly favorite science kit, please let me know. We want to put this on Emma's Christmas List. Snowmaking sounds fun.
Hi. It's great that you have spent the whole day at your house with your kids. Bonding with them is the best form of spending time with your kids. I hope you all had fun.:-)
