It was such a nice day.
The Munchkin came over last night,
as planned...
we read all of the book
it was lovely!
We played games!
Trouble, Uno and Chess +
Calvin Chess, which is similar to
Calvin Ball, ala Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes:
no rules other than do one non-rule thing at a time.
It's fun and the Munchkin and I took great joy in
being goofy and taking out the king on the Chess board as our first
'Calvin Chess Move' :)

Sushi with cucumber and avocado for lunch, apples with peanut butter
and graham crackers with peanut butter were enjoyed by all.
As was Christmas music and this fun link with

And my chicken pot pie, made yesterday,
was a great success!!
In this world we have a lot of struggles, but it is so nice
to have a day where play was the operative word and
enjoyment was the goal.
