My mantle decorations

My friend gave me some candle stuff for my fortieth birthday. Doesn’t it look pretty with the glass decorations? That picture above the mantle is of yurts in Kazakhstan. You know, the country my kids were born in. Lest you were wondering.

Im off tonight to go to a Henna Party. Never been to a Henna party but again, feel like it’s a good global community experience for my children. Well, at least my girl children because they are the ones who are invited.

Tomorrow we are off to see friends of ours in Olympia. We love spending time with them and we aren’t even dreading the drive! (Well… maybe my husband is but he doesn’t count!)

Then Sunday is another party. Don’t I just feel all popular?

Today I cleaned the house with my slaves children. I believe its my job as a parent to teach my children important tasks such as how to use the vacuum, how to organize the coat closet and how to empty several small trash cans into a big white garbage bag. Seriously though, they did a great job.

Then we went for a run. All of us. Together. Which involved a lot of walking in between short bursts of running. It was fun. And we all felt better after 30 mins of activity. And we did at least a quarter mile of hills. So yay us.

Yesterday was spent playing board games. We played a rousing game of Whoonu, Apples to Apples and Whoonu. That Whoonu is great fun for families. I highly recommend it if you have more then 3 people to play. Ages five up can handle it.

Ok.. must go… I’m going to try to blog a bit more in the next week. Work is going to be a bit lighter and Im looking forward to some me time :)
