My kids. I love them with all my heart. Will do most anything for them. Lately though, I have caught myself saying no to them a lot. You can tell by the looks on their faces, that hurts them. This week though, I have tried my best to be more of a yes mom. I want my kids to remember that I closed my laptop, put my phone down and that they did have my undivided attention. I only have them a short amount of time and I want I to make the most of it.
So what did we do this week? My daughter made me some jewelry (with a little help from me). I now have this awesome red diamond bracelet, as well as a white diamond ring. And yes, I did wear it all day!
Next, I got a little pampering from my kids. They begged to paint my fingernails and toenails. I even got a little lip gloss on my lips. In fact, they have done this 2 days in a row! (fingernail polish washes off very easily)
Next up was a game of Battleship with my youngest son. This was a Christmas present that he had asked for. We have started games before but had never finished one until the other day. Guess what? I LOST!! My 7 year old son beat me! (N0, I didn’t let him win either!) I told him we were going to have to have a rematch soon. I have to redeem myself! {grin}
Not to be outdone by brother, the Care Bear checker board was brought out. We had a great match going back and forth, but in the end, I won. Not by much though! I only had 2 Care Bears left on the board!
Do you play any board games with your children? I would love to get some more ideas for games for our family!
so fun! my girls love doing things like that. They play “spa” and have music and lotion and spray stuff and who knows what else! 🙂 Looks like they treat you well, Mom!
My kids really do treat me well. All four of them. I am a very spoiled mom and blessed to have them in my life. I am loving how close we have all become since we started homeschooling. 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your new look and home! What fun times with your kiddies!!!!
Thanks so much Rebecca! I think Honey and Jonah did an awesome job on the blog! They are wonderful people to work with. My kids and I are having a lot of fun. As you know, our children are such blessings to us! We are so blessed to be able to stay at home with them! 🙂
Carcassone. We love Carcassone, and there’s several expansions you can play with for it. I’m actually going to start a summer series about board games soon. Or that’s my hope……..
I have never heard of that game before. I will have to check it out. Thanks for sharing about it. I also am looking forward to your summer series about board games!!
I have been thinking that I need to say yes more than I do. My first answer always seems to be no. It seems to come out without me even thinking about it.
In my decluttering and organizing of our homeschool materials I will soon be at the board games. I am excited. I think we need to have a board game day.
Blessings
Honey
Honey, we brought our games to the living room. It makes them a lot easier to get to, instead of them being on the very back shelf, next to the back door. We have played so many more games since we moved them! Have fun on board game day! 🙂
