An admission leads to a fun day

In therapy, Rosie was asked to write down things that make her angry. The first was school. The second was that we were too busy.

As a result, we decided to slow things down a notch.

We spent the morning coloring. Mike and Rose created a maze together--Mike taught her his patented method. These two pictures make my heart happy.

Our only plan for the day was to have the Oles down so the girls could get manicures and the boys could play video games. Here's Des showing Rose to knit. 

At the end of the day, we watched Wipeout and Moxie decided she wanted to share the love seat with Rose and I. That is Moxie's spot. Despite being totally cramped, Rose stayed glued to my side. I'm still coloring...it's fun.

Moxie's quite happy with her newly expanded family, as long as she gets her seat on the love seat.

Lesson Learned: The constant running Mike and I were used to will have to slow down. Seeing Rose this weekend being a more mellow, calm kid with less anxiety was a welcome break we all needed.
