This week was one of those long weeks where your child has an annoying cough that keeps them up all through the night, which ultimately means no one sleeps well! Then the other child gets the cough also and it's double whammy... so this week was full of quiet time, naps, cuddles, cartoons and stories... mixed in with fatigue, frustration, a little bit too much "us" time, and melt-downs... but this is the natural rhythm of life right :)
The weekend brought better nights and come Monday, I was actually wishing for a bit more weekend. We had some wonderful outings, getting some fresh air and exploring. We had lost most of our snow with mild weather, so the kids actually got to get out on their bicycles which was wonderful and they thoroughly enjoyed working on some snow and ice-riding skills :)
Looks like the snow is returning this week :) Have a great week, stay healthy and hug your loved ones lots!

Our son loves magnetic toys. Two of his current favs are seen here, the @magformers and the @imaginets :) They offer him so much opportunity for creativity and feed his innate interest in building and inventing. Each toy comes with booklets offering ideas, but he will often say he doesn't want to use it... "I am going to build with my imagination" he says :)
Since he was a tired little boy this week, without much appetite and interrupted nights, these toys were perfect to sit in the warm sun on my bed and hang out together.

The beauty and wonder of nature is all around us, sometimes big, sometimes small. Take a moment to really look and be amazed by what you see :) How beautiful is this ice formation on a couple reeds. The kids found so many as they explored and my heart was happy with their excited voices... "look I found another one!"
Have a wonderful final few days of January! Looking forward to a love-filled February ahead :)
