Today I realized that I do a lot of tasks while supervising my children.  In other words, I'm basically "babysitting" but not interacting with them.  So, I decided to drop what I had on my agenda today, and spend some time with them building a fort outside.  We began by picking our spot to build the fort, in "the woods" as my children call it.  (it consists of 6 trees)  Then I started giving them specific tasks that they are able to do.  I was explaining how we are going to build the fort and my son Luke (age 5) says to me, "Mom, you're pretty smart....for a girl.  I never knew that about you!"  I'm not sure if that was a compliment or what, but I had a good chuckle!
