No Nap Days

As a former teacher I know that most kindergarteners have outgrown naps.  At my house we have "quiet time" after lunch.  Time to rest on the couch and listen to music or an audiobook.  

Some days we have a quiet hour and some days not.  Today? Not.  Tuesday is trash day and he recognizes the sound of the trash truck as it moves down the block.  Today after 40 minutes of quietish resting we heard a LOUD noise out front.

Cement mixer!  Better than Christmas.  Not kidding.  

I grabbed my basket ( knitting, magazine, colored pencils and coloring book) and settled with my chai for the new version of "quiet time".

Backhoe pulls up close and front gets filled and then moved out of sight to back yard.  

Sweetie has sweetly requested rainbow socks for kindergarten.  No not striped socks,  a pair of each color in the rainbow.  Upon further questioning he named the requested rainbow colors: blue, black, white, blue, pink and purple, yellow, blue and orange.  No green.  Just an oversight I am sure. 

He does NOT WANT HIS PICTURE TAKEN !! Silly boy! 

 Half a pair almost finished.

We took at early morning walk at John Rudy Park, mailed a package at the post office ( Etsy Sale # 3!!) and then home to unload dishwasher and start laundry.  

We set up camp in the front yard.  Muffins, chai, coloring book and colored pencils, knitting and library books.  Neighbors are putting on an addition and and Sweetie boy enjoys watching the workers, backhoe and dump truck.

  Lovely cool weather,  mid 60's at 11 am!!  Love it!!
