Togetherness

Due to the nature of our family dynamics - 3 kids pretty much all the same age and the same gender - we spend A LOT of time together all doing the same thing.  While it can be quite exhausting at times and hard to figure out how to make sure I am meeting individual needs well, this togetherness is something I view as a true gift.  My boys LOVE each other whole-heartedly and are such wonderful playmates.  Graham begs me almost every morning to go get L&C up so he can have someone to play with, and L&C constantly ask where Graham is when he's at school.  And L&C's bond is just in a whole other league of its own.  Today is everyone's last full day of school, so we're about to get 3 weeks of even more time together!!  We are all really enjoying this special time of year :)

 Gingerbread House time :)

 Their favorite game lately is playing "Santa" - someone gets to be Santa and the others have to "go to sleep" while Santa brings toys - one day the couch was overflowing with almost every toy in the house :)

 Constantly building forts - notice they've unknowingly used one of their Christmas presents that they also made the "wrapping paper" for as a wall

Ok, I did sneak out on a date with Graham - I took him to his first play at the Nashville Children's Theater.  We saw You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown
