We decided not to do any traveling and just spend time together at home.
Reading, cleaning, singing songs ("itsy bitsy spider" is best when you sing it 20+ times a day), etc.
Also, I decided on a whim that I would stay off facebook this week as part of my self-reflecting and refocusing. The break was much needed. I am feeling mentally rested, which was the purpose of said break.
With all our spare time we.........
- made several trips to different parks after having early dinners together.
- washed and detailed our Mazda.....milk and juice stained carpets no more.
- had this yummy chicken fried rice.
- finished a sweet little gift
- took late afternoon naps
- cleaned rooms from top to bottom
- car rides around town just to listen to music and get out of our apartment
- went for a walk at one of our local walking trails (little boys just wanted to play in the woods)
- baked these chocolate chip cookies
- watched football games (you can't skip pre-season games) Ha!
- completed all the "itty bitty" bags for Blog Fete
- afternoon coffee and sewing
- watched a movie - "The Grey" (Liam Neeson is great in all the movies I have ever seen him in.)
We will be back to our normal busy starting tomorrow.
Savoring this last day and looking forward to another break in December.
Side note: can you believe August is almost over?!! This summer flew by.
