October 2

The kiddos all disappeared to the living room after dinner while Adam and I watched part of the Cards/Padres game on TV. I got up to check on them a little later and was totally gratified to find them harmoniously enjoying a video game.

When I first approached, they were all celebrating something and I loved the sight, so I asked them to do it again for me (and hold the pose for a few seconds because otherwise it'd have been blurry!. And they did -- twice.

So tonight, I'm thankful for their recent peaceful interactions and for how they've played together so cheerfully. And I'm grateful that they listened to me and did what I asked -- even if it was a bit silly.
