Total photos taken today: 73
I want to remember… cloudy, dreary days that make it hard to get going in the morning. We all started slow today.
I want to remember… our little game we played for history. It was called Tiger Hunt and it was based on ancient India’s practice of kings hunting tigers for fun (which also led into a good discussion about killing animals for nourishment vs. entertainment). One child was the “king” and wore a crown, while another was the tiger. The king counted to ten and then tried to chase and tag the tiger before he jumped into base. It was a big hit and even I got in on the fun!
I want to remember… the importance of showing real photos of our home, in all its imperfection. Someday the kids will look back and remember our makeshift “gate” to deter TJ from slamming toys on the television. They’ll see their favorite games and guys “put away” (ie. crammed) into the playroom shelves. I’m sure I’ll remember how no matter how hard I try, there are always dishes in the sink. It’s not magazine-worthy, but it’s ours and it’s good.
