"At home days"

That's what the kids call days like today, blank slates with nowhere to go and nothing (other than a short "lesson time") on the agenda. The days are usually full of play, baking, catching up on cleaning, walks around the neighborhood. I treasure these days and try to make sure we have them frequently. But Wednesdays are absolutely and for sure "at home days" right now, and as I switch the laundry over, change diapers, play " monster mama" (unlike yesterday where I was a bit of a real monster mama,at least in my heart, when Jubilee wouldn't nap again), smell the pumpkin chocolate chip bread baking, go out to pick some tomatoes off of a very neglected plant,do some training and heart to hearts,it just feels right. This is breathing in for me, and absolutely necessary for us all. Jen
P.S.does Ollie's mouth look blue? If so, it's because he was sucking on a blue play silk dyed with kool-aid. Oops, does that mean his first food is technically kool-aid?  Poor fourth child;)
