To Sit.

At this time in my life, sitting is a luxury.
It won't always be, but, for now, it is.  
I enjoy being at home with my kids.  I am very grateful that I have the opportunity. But there's a crap ton of stuff that needs to get done for this house to run efficiently!! 
Sitting is so nice!
The 30 minutes I can sit by myself while the boys are napping somehow refreshes me like no other other time can.

This past weekend, Jim was infected by the crud that we all had when in Rochester.  He is slowly on the mend, but that flu knocks the wind out of you.  Takes a good two weeks to get over it. 
It finally got to the point over the weekend that I could do a long run without lung spasms.  It was 6 slow miles, but miles never-the-less.
 Today was Caroline's first day back at school after missing all of last week.  She was bumming because she was going to have to make up the PARCC testing that she missed.  Fortunately, she has a wonderful teacher that is very in-tune with a little girl wanting to do nothing but her best that sent her an email telling her to not worry about the testing.  :) CJ is almost done with her Marie Curie project.  I need to get to JoAnn's and get a simple pattern for a skirt for her costume.  Hopefully I can whip that up over the weekend. I am loving my sewing machine.  To the point where I wonder how I ever had the patience to sew by hand.  There is much still to learn with it, but I will. Eventually. 

Maybe we'll have a week without a Snow Day?  I don't know that we'll be able to last a whole week!  We've been spoiled with all this time off.

Here is a picture of Sam with his project while it was on display at school:.  He is SO proud of it.

Benjamin received a hand-me-down Miami Dolphins jersey, which he wears almost constantly.  He points out repeatedly throughout the day, "Mama!  I have numbers AND letters on my back!  There are just numbers on my front."
It's so freaking cute.
