a life of magic : friday

thursday we spend the day planning things, fixing things, and getting ready for a weekend of Friends.

friday was another scrumptious "ain't life grand?" day.

first thing in the morning, Maddie was at the kitchen table, creating a story to read that night to our visiting friends.

this piece is one of my very, very favorite things that she's made.  can you tell what it is?

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

(top left, porridge: too hot, just right, bit too warm, still - top right, three beds

soon we were to breakfast at the bagel shop,

and to the museum!

hooray for the museum!

we came home to tidy up for our visitors,

and for the next five hours we ate, drank, talked, shouted, ran wild, played, jumped, wrestled, pretended, imagined, and loved.

oh, yes. 
life is good.
