Today started crappy and just got crappier and crappier. And I’ve learned it doesn’t help to harp on it so I am just going to move on. I just feel worn out to bits lately and wish I could find a solid way to recharge (at least so it lasts more than 24 hours.) Alas, some days are just crappy. And the good days always come, too so I’ll wait for that.

I was at work for part of the day so I snapped photos when I came home. Nathaniel played with diapers.

David came down for a few minutes so I snapped a photo while I could.

Nathaniel organizing the diapers more and admiring his work.

then he moves on to legos.

the one catch while he’s looking at me.

and then smiling at the ceiling.

there we are. I have things to do and less then zero energy so I am going to go do those things. I hope your day was better than mine.

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I went to work and it was productive.
2. I am grateful for some art time tonight. I really need it.
3. I am grateful that my jaw does seem to still be getting better.

Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that I read Calvin and Hobbes. * {his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I played with my Nathaniel.
3. I am grateful that I played with my legos.

We decided to take today off so we could do one more family day before school starts next week. So we spent the morning doing our typical stuff (reading, art, scrapping, napping, etc.) and then when Nathaniel woke up we went to a mini-golf place on 101. It was super hot and not super conducive to great photos but I took some anyway.

Nathaniel watched at first.

even gave me some smiles.

Daddy played too of course. And he was the best.

before soon, Nathaniel was playing too.

And here’s proof I was there, too.

David did pretty well (except when he cheated. which when we pointed out to him, got him very upset.)

Here’s the only shot of the two of them I got and it’s blurry, of course.

but then Daddy snapped my favorite photo of the day.

and I got one of my big boy.

and one of my little one.

and that was that for golf. We then played for a few minutes in the arcade, used the tickets to get a plastic soldier and some candy. Dinner, laughter and now the kids are in bed and I have a layout to make. Here’s to another lovely day. Hope yours was, too.

Three Things I’m Grateful For:
1. I am grateful for my package of goodies and that I made a layout already.
2. I am grateful for the awesome mini golf day.
3. I am grateful that my jaw is a little better today. Only 2 advils so far.

Three Things David’s Grateful For:
1. I am grateful that we went to play mini golf. * {his pick for the journal}
2. I am grateful that I played with my Nathaniel.
3. I am grateful that I got a toy soldier.
