Down Time

After a full day of school for the kids and errand running for me, I thought we should take a little time to focus on each other. I told the kids I would take them to the bakery under two conditions: 1. They had to use their own money for whatever they got. 2. We had to walk there and back. 

We walked and they told me all about their day at school. They each picked a pastry, which they ate at the bakery while I told them about my day.

We stopped at the little park on our way back so they could play in the fountain.

I sat in the grass under a tree.

It was lovely.
