ChatterFox: Living Arrows | Simple Pleasures

'You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth' Khalil Gibran.

It was a slow and steady week for us last week. Daddy had holidays to use before the end of the month so he took a week off work and we just hung out around the house, went for a daily walk and just played and relaxed at home.

I've been ordering jigsaw puzzles for my grandparents and fortunately they arrived in a giant cardboard box that brought us all hours of fun. Iris loved being a robot and then she decided she was the masked singer and we had to shout 'take it off' and cheer and shout when she took the box off her head. It was genuinely lovely to indulge in some basic, imaginative, child led play plus we got to wave at mama and grandad through the window when we dropped off the puzzles. My mood seems to have lifted slightly, maybe it's the promise of sunnier days ahead.

Ah I love this! I've really enjoyed reading your posts... my mood seems to have lifted slightly in recent days too - since the snow actually - Groundhog Day remains but it's been a little more manageable x

I saw that photo and just knew she was a robot! She has just the best imagination! x

She makes a very good robot! I love how their imagination takes them to different places. Sounds like an act of kindness in gifting the puzzles has also given you all something too. Heres to sunnier days xx
