a little sick

Brixton had a little bug so he spent the day at home. I facilitated the last of my new parent groups this week so Chris had the morning shift (and most of the vomit) and I got to have the afternoon. Staying in the house all day is not my favorite thing but once in a while it's ok. Especially when he was feeling better and we got to play games and he assigned me math problems. 

the weekend

This weekend was calm, in contrast to all our parties in the earlier half of the month.I got to go see this with a college friend, which was delightful.

 Lots of time for costumes, and games. For playing chess and memorizing Frozen lyrics, and playing with snap circuits.  

For the little bits of rest and play. I enjoy the parties and visiting with people, but I also enjoy the balance of rest. 

Chess

One of Unity's birthday presents was a beginners chess set. Each piece has the moves it can make printed across the bottom and Chris and the kids enjoyed setting up the game and talking through all the possible moves. Unity's school has a chess team but so far she hasn't joined it. Maybe next year.
