The Perfect Day

Today has been the perfect day; sunshine, smiles, and lots of love.

Kim decided to get all her chores done last night before going to bed (sacrificing sleep) so that she could spend more time with the family; especially Elyas, who has been feeling a little left out lately.

Kim and Elyas dyed Easter Eggs together after breakfast; Elyas thought it was great.  He had a lot of fun dipping the eggs in the dye and taking them back out again over and over.  There were a few big splashes, but not a big deal, it was an easy clean up.  

Kim and the Kids went for a walk around the neighborhood after they finished with the eggs.  It was a beautiful walk; it is so nice to have the sun out and no more of that winter weather.  Spring finally seems to have arrived today.

Kim and Chris were able to spend some quality time together after Elyas and November both went down for a nap.  It was nice being able to spend time together since it is rare that it is just us, no kids and no homework.  

After lunch Elyas and Kim played ball outside with the ball Elyas got in his Easter Basket on Easter Morning.  He loves his ball and he had so much fun tossing, bouncing, and rolling it around outside.  Kim had a lot of fun with him too; it is nice that she was able to make time to be able to spend playing with the kids and not worrying about chores and other hustle-bustles of life. 

Chris was able to take a nap while Elyas, November, and Kim had music time together.  Elyas loved it and wanted to do the same songs over and over.  It is great when he builds up enough courage to act out the motions that go with the songs; he does a really good job.  November loved it too; especially Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree, but when we did “Once There Was a Snowman” she began to cry because the “tall tall tall” part scared her.  

We had pizza for dinner and stayed up way too late together, but it was worth it to have some extra time together, with family, on the perfect day.
