Time to end the holidays

Kids want to do homework. Guess they're ready for school again! 😂🥰 Handwriting practice and maths. ❤️

Transience

Daughter asked me to keep the door open, so she could make sure the world was still on the other side. Reminded me that when I was little I used to get scared of the transience and impermanence of the world too. I'd forgotten how scary the world can seem to a little person. ❤️

Strength of character

Daughter is so stubborn, she fell asleep sitting up this evening while muttering "storeeee" repeatedly and sadly for 45 minutes (I said no, because she chose a longer bath and playing with the rocket instead). Admittedly for the last 10 minutes she was half leaning on me. I am in awe of her determination. She's going to be a strong woman one day! ❤️

Today's bedtime game

As chosen by the kids: their game with daddy today is him being a white blood cell and them being germs. 😂

Child of many faces

Following on from my precious son's "does it sound like the stars are singing?" comment, passing a wind farm in the car, he dreamily said "mama, I'd love to be a wind turbine."

"Why darling," I asked him, expecting something beautiful.

"Because then I can chop people up with my blades..."

😳😂
