Here is a monocled dog:
I needed this picture to get me through nap-time with a smile today. It's a gloomy rainy Monday ... and while nothing is "wrong" and I've been productive today, I have a case of the blahs so I turned it into a case of the blahgz and here I am blogging about it.
Do you all nap during naptime? I can't. I get a wee bit sick to my tummy when I wake from a nap so I try to get enough sleep at night instead. I utilize nap-time for household chores, playing online, doing things (like updating my Etsy shop) that require absolute focus, chatting on the phone with my best friend, prepping dinner, catching up on DVR'd shows, reading in SILENCE (ahhhh...) and occasionally actually tending to myself by straightening my hair or painting my nails. Rarely.
I canceled a playdate and a lesson tonight in favor of some quiet time with the boys whilst their Papa is out of town. It's nice to plan an activity or science experiment and let 'em at it. Last week's science experiment required a glass pie dish, food coloring, milk and dish soap to introduce them to the concept of Surface Tension. I know they are still young and I don't expect them to absorb the lesson but for my guys it's more the process than the product...and Hunter asks a million questions along the way so he must be learning something. Here's a quick pic of the experiment's progression:
What do you do when you're stuck inside and don't want to rely on cartoons and toys to get you through the afternoon? *Don't get me wrong, we have those days too.*
