Sunday afternoon is time we usually spend together as a family.  I sometimes try to come up with some unique activities for us to do.

They aren’t always successful, as sometimes the kids have high expectations of what we should be doing.

I try to explain to them that I really want them to enjoy just “being”. Just doing small things, enjoying each other’s company, doing creative activities together.

I don’t want them constantly needing to be stimulated or entertained.

This week I suggested we each make a collage of “all the things you love”  – representing who you are, at this point in your life now.

I was first faced with some resistance, but they got into it.

Here are the finished products:

One day, I hope they get a kick out of looking back at these collages!!
