I've had this exact thought before when I make the kids a beautiful plate for breakfast with strawberries, blueberries, cheese, oranges, bananas... and then I grab a pack of crackers on the way out. This was a good reminder that I need to take care of myself too in order to take the best care of my babies.
So yesterday I worked on my yoga teacher training. I'm doing a "distance learning" program so that, unlike last time I attempted this, I don't have to devote a full weekend each month- it's just not realistic for us. So Zachary took the kids to the gym so that I would be able to concentrate. On the way out, he learned how unmanageable they can be when you're by yourself. So he did something super smart- told them they had to hold hands. And they did! He took a video of it and showed me because he knew I'd have to see it to believe it. But today I snapped this picture of my three loves holding hands- how sweet!
Later, we had some senior midshipmen over for dinner- lasagna. We played Apples to Apples which made me really happy. It was really fun- the kids were great- the midshipmen are so good with them. It was a great day!
Hands in pockets is also a good one! I used that with Zachary and Matthew when I took them out...
