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!
