Do Nothing Day


Look at the beautiful fog!  Hands down, this is my favorite time of year.  I LOVE THIS.  God is an artist.  I love the morning routine of stepping outside to go get the morning paper right around 6:15.  Smudge usually comes along.  We take a moment to look at the flower garden, look at the sky and smell the air.  Fog is so beautiful.  It has been lingering until almost noon around here for several days now.
  I feel so lucky to be graced with such beauty! 
The air feels as though things have slowed down.  It makes me want to burn spicy candles and bake something yummy, snuggle up in a blanket on the couch and do NOTHING. 
We completed group time yesterday and then decided we needed to pop some popcorn and relax a bit.  It was time for some good old Tom & Jerry!  Sometimes kids need to just do nothing.  As busy parents, we are taking our kids along with us most of the time and it can be tiring for them just as much as it is for us.  So the fog- the successful preschool week- the low key calm that was taking over just led to cartoons.  
I stand by that decision 100%.
Fuzzy photo.  See that blanket?  My mother made that when I was little.  It's great- she gave it to me when I was 17 and moving out.  I use it for everything! There is nothing fuzzy about it, so dirt and sand just falls right off of it.  The kids know that when they see this blanket on the living room floor, popcorn is in their near future!  The kids have to be sitting on the blanket if they want to get any.  It makes clean up a snap- I just grab the corners and haul the blanket outside and flip the popcorn over the fence, where the birds eat it up. 
What do you do on your 'Do Nothing' days?
Happy Friday!♥♥♥
