Daybook

Outside my window…our tea is brewing.

I am remembering…that all of these little people began with dinner at Bennigans.

I am thankful for…the chance to catch up with old friends and a quick visit with Granny and Pappy (sorry for all the photos, but everybody needed their individual picture with Granny AND Pappy!)

I am watching…Covert Affairs at night with Daxson. It’s no Veronica Mars, but it’s keeping us entertained.

I am listening…to the breeze as it ruffles my curtains. I wish I could bottle this temperature to reopen in the middle of the summer when the heat feels unbearable.

I am wondering…how other people do it. And by it, I mean everything. I feel like some days all I do is cook, clean, repeat. Other days it feels like wash, fold, repeat.

I am laughing…as I flip through the (400+) photos Joseph took on my phone when we were grocery shopping. It’s fun to see the world through his eyes.

I am reflecting…on the boomerang errand, as described by Gretchen Rubin…this week feels like boomerang after boomerang.

In the schoolroom…we finally got our act together and got our Herb Fairies video made for the contest.

Around the house…laundry piles, but clean floors. Give and take.

In the kitchen…AIP meals. I’m a little tired of meat, veggies and fruit. And by a little, I’m not really being honest.

I am wearing…my boots. Some things just make me happy.

We are preparing for…Easter Sunday!

Someday I am going to miss…this missing tooth smile. Right now I’m just trying to adjust it. It is the result of Katie’s most recent bright idea. Dancing on a booster seat? Even if that booster seat is on the floor? Probably not her smartest idea. After she knocked her tooth out and managed to give herself a nice bump on the head, I tried to comfort her. But she wasn’t upset because she was hurt. She was furious that her tooth had the audacity to fall out. Lots of spunk in this little girl. The tooth fairy has visited; the missing tooth is now tucked safely away in the pink box that she received from Dr. Moore’s office; now we just wait 3 or 4 years for a new tooth to grow in.
