this week's focus

The big boys took out their drawing journals on Monday and have been furiously drawing every day since. Each night while I cook dinner they sit at the counter and draw, together. It is so sweet to listen to them interact with one another. They can be very sweet and kind to one another when they are not arguing. They get ideas from books we have and from one another.

Harkin has been busy with the snap blocks which he has always loved. He also discovered stickers. Ones he can get off by himself and then stick or just play with. He will sit for a long time and be very focused. I love the fact that we have all the time in the world to do this: to focus on what interests us at the moment.

It is grand and makes for such nice days at home, or I should say sweet home days.....
