Dining Room update

Arts and Crafts, Baking, and Lots of Play (how we spend each day)

 

 

 

 

Every table deserves a bouquet of flowers

Waiting for cookies to bake is fun!

We make at least one pillow fort/ rabbits' nest/ double decker bus each day.

Finish line

Whew.  Today marks the last day of National Blog Posting Month.  I think that I technically missed one day (because I posted a couple of hours early one night), but I am considering this month a success.  Taking the time out to post something daily has largely been a positive experience.  Sometimes, I didn't have much to say and so I shared a cute photo.  At other times, I had an incredible heap of emotionally-loaded thoughts and not much time to sort them out-- and so I shared a cute photo or a tidbit about my life as a mother of young children.  Still, there are moments when I have collected my thoughts and I am able to write something of substance.  Those are my favorite moments.  Thank you for reading (and commenting).  There is certainly more to come!

An autumn afternoon

When it became clear that Evelyn wasn't going to be able to fall asleep this afternoon, I let her have some quiet time on the couch. She snuggled under a blanket and watched Sesame Street while I nursed Henry to sleep. After Henry's nap, I decided that fresh air would be a good idea for all of us. Evelyn pushed her baby in the doll stroller around the neighborhood and Henry cozied against me in the Moby wrap. We ended up dropping Dolly back at the house and heading to the neighborhood basketball court to collect leaves for an art project.
