That’s what we did today. Nothing. Yet look how Emery and I fell out around 5:00 this afternoon. You would have thought we’d been out workin’ the fields or something. In reality, the kids went to an art camp this morning for a few hours while I ran errands. We got home and all put on bathing suits to play in the sprinkler (yes, ALL of us, be glad there isn’t a picture of that!). Then we each had an hour of “room time” where we read books or watched TV or drew pictures, etc.
By then it was after 5 and Emery posed his daily question, “Mom, will you play Apples to Apples with me?”
Now, please know, I play this with them ALL the time, but anytime I refuse I am met with the same response: “Plllleeeeaaasseee? You NEVER play Apples to Apples with meeeeee. I only want to spend tiiiimmmmeee with yooouuuuu.”
We are now accepting boarding passes for your guilt trip.
Geez! Today I told him there was no way I could play. I could barely keep my eyes open! So he crawls up into my lap, followed by Stafford, and takes off his shirt so I can rub his back.
Next think I know, I hear the click of a camera, followed by giggling.
