Taking It Easy

When three out of four Hamiltons are a little under the weather (surprisingly enough, Jack is the last man standing in the health department) and the weather is unseasonably cold and windy you have the perfect excuse for hanging out around the house and taking it easy. Fortunately, the boys have done a good job keeping themselves, and each other, entertained. An upside of the move has been the closeness we see between Jack and Miles. They have really depended on each other over the last 2 months and it shows.

 We decided not to enroll Jack in a new preschool here (we just felt like it was a lot of transition for what would amount to about 8 weeks of school). Instead, I've been working with him at home a little bit most days. Today he wrote a thank you note to Grammy and Pop-Pop. 

 Fort building is the activity of choice these days and I am happy to let them have at it (although this means you have to sit on the floor if you want to watch TV or read- all couch cushions are generally being used for spaceship or clubhouse construction!)

 We did venture outside (to the driveway) yesterday afternoon for a little while to vacuum out the van. The boys hopped in the front and were off on an African safari. Their dialogue was hysterical! They love to pretend together.

We have been watching a few movies too. Our friends like to join us.
