Jen tagged me for this meme:

1. What's your child's favorite book?  Jacob loves Dragonology and Alinea is reading The Amazing Days Abbie Hayes series

2.  What is your favorite children's book?  I love juvenille fiction - too many to count.  Right now we're reading George McDonald's "The Princess & the Goblins"

3.  What is your child's favorite thing to eat?  Jacob is a pizza man and Alinea can't seem to get enough spaghetti

4. What's your favorite thing to eat?   Greek food

5. What's your child's favorite game? Jacob has been very into Battleship lately, but will play any and all games I agree to.  He LOVES games.  Alinea isn't as interested in them, but likes LIFE the most.

6. What's your favorite game? I am far too competitive to play games frequently.  I enjoy them, but get a bit too involved sometimes.  I played an amazing game at a New Year's party last year - Apples to Apples - can't find it in any stores - but it's one of the most creative games I've ever played - everyone gets to play - no right or wrong answers, if you can read, you can play.  It's a lot of fun.

If you want to play consider yourself tagged!

Well, I asked the kids what they wanted to do for TAC today and they wanted to take a walk - so we spent it all in one chunk.  it is a beautiful day here - so it was very pleasant. We forgot the camera though - but the leaves and trees are just gorgeous!

Oh this is the funniest/saddest blog post I've read by a mom in a LONG time!

I think she needs a minti invite!

Reason #63

Sistah Jen has sent out the challenge to be more present in our children's lives.  3 times a day, 10 minutes a day totally engage with your kids - I think if we all really did this we could change everything.

Alinea & Jacob deserve a mom who is engaged in their lives and really listening.
