Do I look relaxed? Well it has been a relaxing day, my husband took the kids to synagogue and I had a great nap, then when they get home it was a bit nuts. We stayed in, it wasn't as hot as the weather predicted, and I just wanted to have my lazy day. Overall everyone was entertained, a few tantrums here and there, everyone has their moment of calm, and then their moment of expressing themselves. The baby never napped, and was overtired, put him down at almost 6pm, hopefully he will sleep the night.
It is beautiful to have a day off of the world, a day of no media, a day just to be with each other. On the other hand such a day is not necessarily relaxing, especially with small children. Overall it was great, we read some books, we played some games, and now my favorite part of the night, they are all asleep :) No distractions from the world have us present, and with children there is no choice but to be present, deal, feel, and be. Recently I came across an amazing video about why to have children, and the question asked was do you want a painless life or a deep life?
