:: these boys o’ mine
They are loud, and talk of bodily functions at the dinner table, and leave tiny rubber rats on kitchen counters, but damn, are they also sweet and fabulously entertaining and endlessly creative, too.
:: Squeezing in a run before the rain
:: A husband who spends a night helping friends on the verge of opening restaurant #2
:: Goldfinches at the birdfeeder, ducks and pheasants and quails scampering through the yard
:: Reading The Hobbit out loud to a rapt audience of two
:: Playdates that alter the dynamic of our day (for the better)
:: Thunderstorms
:: Wilco pandora station as the back-drop for a productive work day
:: Only 19 days of school left!
:: The venus fly trap in our kitchen
:: A week not necessitating the hour-by-hour planner page I used last week
:: Impending sister (+ nephew + brother-in-law) visits!
:: Seeds soaking in ziplock bags, just as I remember
:: Devoting an entire hour(s?) to assembling gifted Lego sets. And getting thanked profusely. But actually enjoying it.
:: Tadpoles
