monday


Oregon Trail.

mama breathes fire.
dude.

tyin' flies.

imaginative play.
with a small natural board that she found today while on a walk with her daddy.



and flyin' ties.






muskrat ♥ ♥ ♥








sunshine and rain

time for peanut butter cookies
and walking with dinosaurs.

that will do.
g'night, then.

the brownie

something funny has been going on around here.

i've come to realize our Brownie has been playing.

it took me until yesterday to realize it.
i couldn't figure out why our house wasn't a mess.

i mean... psh!... we had just had two little friends here for three days. (granted, we spent lots of our time elsewhere, but still--we all know that usually never matters.)

and it wasn't me doing the cleaning. it's been days since i dusted or vacuumed. (something that's often done once or twice a day. certainly it needs it once or twice a day.)

the weatherman says that we have one more day of cold and rain.
just one more!!

so last night while the Three were playing wiiheehee games, i started on the rumpus room.
(it's best to be in the basement when it's raining outside. verra difficult to do when the sunshine and birds are calling.)

so!








there! all super clean and shiny. isn't that nice?

and the rest? oh, yes. i'll add my magic, as well.
happily!





okay, Summer. we're ready for you, now.
(and thanks so much, Brownie Friend. honey and cream coming your way post haste.)

sunday's offerings

sometimes





i don't mind looking for magic.


crepes and berries for breakfast (a favorite)





Rango

Linkfamily-time on the wiiheeheee


and dinner and a movie (Journey to the Center of the Earth. with spaghetti and meatballs).

ordinary rain

ordinary yumminess

ordinary favorites.

it's a good life.

saturday

free the medicine garden


write a book
(Maddie gets to be our Saturday's Artist)
"Snow Everywhere"

One Christmas evening there was one cat, one dog, one sister, one brother, and a mom and dad.


The brother was looking out the window. He saw that it was snowing.


"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I'm just looking out the window, because it's snowing outside."


"Oh my gosh, it is snowing out there!"


Let's open the presents under the Christmas Tree.


The End.


love the fish

admire the Painted Lady

harvest


play Oregon Trail and watch Clifford.

wonder
(about what is going on with this caterpillar and its green slime sections...?)


play volleyball


sing to the Western Tanagers
(there are three of them flitting about our home)

sculpt with a new kind of clay

and snuggle in while the next storm arrives,
watching Guardians of Ga'Hoole.

that will do.
