OUTSIDE

With the amazingly beautiful weather lately, we have spent our afternoons lazying around outside. It's done wonders for us: Mali and Greta get along better, there aren't whines for tech time (computer, movies, or kids' show on TV), the girls run and play or lay around and rest, my mood is greatly improved, I have less guilt about Mali spending all day in the classroom when I see her running around freely for hours after school, we all sleep better, and our house doesn't get quite as trashed! It's been wonderful these last few days, and I have hope for many more like this.
