Blissful Weekend

This weekend, I spent Saturday with my folk dance group (along with Tamar and Daniel) at various street performance venues in the Adams Morgan area of DC.  The little ones loved watching the dancing and listening to the music, and they surprised me (and astonished my friends) by trying their best to join in the singing!


On Sunday the dance group reconvened at my friend Mary's house for brunch.  I brought all three kids and they were really well behaved.  I spent some time soaking up the zen from the many plants in the house.  Mary set up an area for the kids to play in her basement with some crafts and toys.  When Benji learned that Mary's birthday was the previous day, he gave her a picture he had drawn (a portrait of one of the Lego Ninjago ninjas, of course).  He also worked on a big homework project in the car on the way to and from brunch, and then he surprised me while we were there by saying that he wanted to keep working on the project before we headed home (that's what's going on in the fourth photo, which is a little dark).  We also went for a walk around the block with Mary and some friends and visited local dogs and admired Mary's garden.


It was a blissful weekend.
