Sometimes:-)

Oisin did this tonight...i found the quote from Thich Nat Hanh, but the drawing was so incredibly cute...its times like these i KNOW that sending him to Steiner was right...he drew this and i just thought it was perfect - and found the quote to match through google.

The first day of school. After dinner Peter left for his zen talk and i drew with the boys - this was one of the results.  

As part of the dinner preparations i got Oisin to make the omelette, lay the table and light the candle. We ate dinner at the dinner table and had dessert as well. It was all very civilised and i enjoyed it. Then i got Oisin to help me dry the dishes, which made doing the dishes a pleasure, rather than a lonely chore. Oisin has now been given a job to do in the house. He goes around switching off lights that aren't being used and he's now in charge of the recycling. For that we gets paid £5 a week. He also has to clean his room. The house is a mess since the new floors were put in. I'm slowly trying to clean it up.

I did the bins and some laundry. It's a bit crazy to say this, but doing chores is good for the soul. If it is shared with others it's even better.
