We stopped at Dollar General tonight for something I needed and I let the kids pick out a coloring book each (Eliza also got a board book). The kids chattered excitedly all the way home about which pages they were going to color and they are now coloring away happily, singing as they do (their last number was "Come and Get It" by Badfinger). The grand total for all this fun? $7.
Some day, folks, I will not only realize but continue to remember and embrace that less is sometimes more.
(Incidentally, the coloring book choices were as follows: Eliza - Sesame Street ("Elmo!!!!"), John-Zachary - Littlest Pet Shop, Madalyn - generic cats & dogs.)

Ah, Badfinger. The Wannabeatles.
I like them.
