Taking In The Moments

Taking in the moments. That's what I would really like to do more of these school holidays. I have the joy of my four amazing children home and I'm wanting to slow down time. So far, we've enjoyed our traditional end of term night, watching movies and eating pizza. It's our way of loosening up, relaxing and getting into the mind set of enjoying each others company.

On that note, today I wrote down a quick list of some simple activities that I'd like to try and enjoy this holidays with my family ... hopefully, this way, I won't forget. Making memories together is a priority for me, and I know that unless I write things down, I'm likely to not remember all the things that I really want to do!

My 'taking in the moments' list as follows ...

1. play card and board games
2. read lots of books
3. make a teacup bird feeder (or a couple!)
4. sculpt little clay houses (for the kids to enjoy!)
5. enjoy around the world dinners
6. journal about my children
7. roast marshmallows
8. photo collage art
9. chalk photos of kids (great on a rainy day on a garage floor!)
10. have tea parties
11. make a kite
12. star-gazing
13. light candles around the home
14. write letters
15. plant herbs
16. fire-side dinner with MR S
17. make home made apple pie
18. have a lounge room sleepover
19. read aloud together
20. balloon painting (if I'm game enough!)
21. make wood oven pizza
22. enjoy using the fire pit while drinking hot chocolate
23. play chin puppets
24. take lots of photos!

Now all that's left to do is write out a good copy with check boxes and stick it on the fridge!

I apologize that there's no photos on this post, I have none taken as yet. Don't worry, I'll be sure to make up for it in the posts to come!

May God beautifully bless your week!
