Sunshine Day

I am happy to report that today was a better day than yesterday.

The change was due in part to how we spent our time. We had some kids over to play this morning, then we met friends at the park for a picnic. After playing in the sunshine and warmth for a few hours we came home and a few of us (including me) took naps. Then we had friends over again to play and have dinner with us.

I know that I love sunshine. And I know I'm a social creature. My kids have developed those same inclinations. Perhaps the combination of the two lifted our moods enough to lead to better behavior?

Bedtime, which is usually crazy hour, was even calmer than usual.

We still had a few rough patches, but it was a marked improvement.
