Quality Time Monkeyshines

This week's Monkeyshines visit featured another milestone (the first two meal visit) and lasted until well after 7pm. Our favorite little folks stormed into the House of Miller and played their little hearts out all afternoon long.

Before I go any further, I should note that I updated the images on a couple of earlier entries (New Years Monkeyshines and Walden) and have several more Christmas images to add to the Christmas Monkeyshines post - please check them out and enjoy.

I'll try to keep this brief- lunch was the usual fair, however, this week the kids stayed for dinner, which consisted of steaks, corn on the cob, french fries, and peas and carrots for Miranda. It was nice to see two little ones with such good appetites eating healthy food. Most all of the food and a lot of grapes, bananas, melon and assorted other fruit were all eaten by the end of the evening (but virtually no potato chips or other junk food!).

This week Daddy did a better job of planning and we not only had art-time, but also music-time, nap-time, story-time, tumble-time, bath-time, dinner-time, and movie-time. In another week or two, when the Monkeys start spending the night, we'll add quiet-time and bedtime to the list.

Daddy is learning quickly that a little pre-planning really makes the day that much more enjoyable for all. I don't get much time with the kids so I really have to make what little bit of time I get count.

Nothing of great note happened during this visit - just a lot of love. I'll try to do a better job of getting these entries back on a Monday post-time schedule. Until the next time, stay tuned for Monkeyshines.
