Family Fun

Chris and I really appreciate sharing quality time together (whenever we can manage to scrounge some up!), and certainly quality time with our kids. My hubby's work hours stand in the way of the gobs of family time we'd prefer to bask in on a constant basis, so instead we're left to appreciate each random moment we can snatch! Sometimes after the kids go to bed, the hubster and I chat about our respective days over a delightfully fun game of Scrabble ('Upwords' version). Some moments get serious/competitive, others are sweet-natured fun. Either way, good times!

Today in particular, Chris was off work so we accomplished some interior chores, exterior landscaping, some errands, and three appointments by Noon! Oh, and after lunch all 4 people in this house napped for two hours simultaneously! We wore the kids out, and as soon as they went down the hubby and I plopped our heads on our pillows, too! Sure, we could have used that two hours to get some things done, but today a nap was completely in order (those of you who know where I was late last night for 3 agonizingly long hrs will agree)!
Later in the afternoon we all played in the backyard while grilling some Teriyaki chicken! Yummy! The kids couldn't wait to get out--especially Josiah, who was mesmerized by the strange light he'd seen shining through the windows since he first awoke in the morning (aka "sunshine")!

Didn't get any pics of my sweetie Siah & me, *sob*, but he's all over the place and hard to wrangle for a photo these days! I did get a cute one with Kyleigh, though! And after Josiah and I had come inside, Chris and Kyleigh stayed outside on the patio steps together chatting, so of course I snapped some pics of their quality father/daughter time! Hmm, what else? Oh, before bed we had some crazy tickle-time! Our kids love to be tickled--which I can't understand, for I find it torturous. But that's what they like, so that's what they get!
