We had a great holiday this year. I l-o-v-e-d having the boys home for two entire weeks. I wish, wish, wish we had year-round school options in Charlotte. Three week breaks spread out throughout the year...seems idyllic.
Mike and I were pretty strict about tv after school started in August -- movie nights on Fridays and Sundays and that's it. Once the holidays came, I lifted that completely. I recorded every kid's holiday special that I could and we settled in to watch. Griffin always seems sit in the same leather chair, stretch out, and cross his legs at the ankles. I love it.
Noah loves the couch. And, he can't go anywhere without a bunch of toys with him. He's always amidst his treasure du jour.
Miles mixes it up. Sometimes he squeezes in with Griffin. Sometimes he shares the couch with Noah. Sometimes he grabs his own leather chair. I loved it when he grabs a hat and puts it on backwards. Makes him look so much more grown up to me.
The early days of vacation were also about just being around the house, playing together. There were many days that the boys pulled their trains out of the closet, built different tracks, and wheeled around. Something about the specialness of just being home together on a Monday. A random Monday in July?? Not this relaxed. They boys seem to have forgotten about the trains completely, or they are the most boring toys on the planet. :) Again, let's bring some year-round schools to Charlotte.
