Sibling ReConnection After School





























Each afternoon that we return back to the homestead from picking Sam & Kate up from preschool we rush right to the kitchen table for some lunch. Maggie and Sam are both starving and Kate usually enjoys a yogurt because she eats lunch at school. After everyone has a belly full, including me if I am lucky, we try to spend a little time together reconnecting and talk about our days. Sam and Kate's renditions of their days are always entertaining. Each have different "favorites" about their days, but both always seem to enjoy the playground the most, who wouldn't right? Being free outdoors with sand, swings & friends is bound to be fun!! After everyone has exhausted their thoughts from the day, we usually get down on the floor and play or at least watch Maggie play. The big kids get a real kick out of watching Maggie. Today they all went to their rooms and brought back an armload of toys they wanted to share with her. Sam mostly dumped his matchbox cars and Kate a lot of furniture from her dollhouse. Maggie, of course, proceeded to shove each toy into mouth to make sure it tasted ok. She is so hilarious and is so excited to be in the middle of all the chaos. It warms my heart to see them all "loving" on each other and creating a great bond as brothers and sisters. Having them so close in age is a true gift and one I would never want to change (on most days anyway). Here are some photos from today...
