i have been working on a project all week that i finished up last night (and very early this morning in true procrastination style). being very tired, i had plans for a nap. madelyn didn't have school today, but mason did. she was pretty sad that he was at school. madelyn and maddux watched some cartoons and played while i had a meeting during manning's morning nap.
once we picked mason up from school we headed to the library. my thought was to get them a movie to watch while i napped in the afternoon. but it worked out even better! i got manning down for his afternoon nap and then maddux crawled into bed with me for a nap.
madelyn and mason played very nicely while i napped for a bit making these colorful snowmen!
we had picked up the snowman craft at the library (they always have a color-sheet style craft for the kids to do or take). i was most impressed that madelyn came up with using the hole-punch to make the falling snow! i thought it was quite creative and i was thrilled with how well they did cutting and gluing together (there is normally some fight over who gets which scissors). they were pretty proud of themselves too...
...and then they just got silly!
we had a pretty great day! it is not often that i can get a nap when i really need one and i really needed one today! love.

I love when my kids let me nap. We are some lucky mamas to have kids we can trust to be awake while we are asleep. Sometimes you just *need* to shut your eyes!! and you're better for everyone when you're done. I think something about taking naps when needed should be your next Tuesday tip.
