Days like these are hard. The rain has been threatening all day and when it finally hit, it was fast and furious, and it's still going on. This will ensure no time outside tomorrow too. It's slowed a lot but that hasn't stopped the feelings of frustration that they can't go outside, they can't get any yardwork done and they are having trouble with all the pent up energy.
Even though they have been entertained with Daddy and their video games, the littles are restless and irritable. (Does rain do that to you too?)
I always worry about spending a whole day with video games. Is it doing anything productive for them? Yes, it gives them some fun and bonding with daddy but how much are they really learning?
Grammie sat back and took a listen.
Laughter? ✔
Daddy, king of all video games, teaching good techniques to improve their game? ✔
Youngest Little making his "special" popcorn for everyone and feeling like a big man ✔
Happy hearts for all. ✔
So is a day of video games so terrible? Probably not. Would I want that all the time? Definitely not. But for today, I think I'm happy listening to the laughter.
Pick your battles ladies. Sometimes a day with daddy, all day Marvel Marathon and good bonding is worth letting it go every now and again.
