Sometimes when I am posting, it seems as if life is very simple, each day with it's own singular activity and event. This is not always the case, actually, contrary to what the window of blogging shows, most days there are just a whole bunch of random activities! Sometimes, I think my childrens' attention spans have rubbed off on me because like them ...or because of them, I can move from task to task, working on a thing for only fifteen minutes at a time. Especially in the last few weeks, with all of the rain, we've been in the house more than usual filling our days with activity after activity!
::: I did eventually get my Thank you's made for Sophia's birthday party. I had wondered when these little asian stamps would come in handy? Crafty or not, anyone could make these cards! I used a brown sharpie marker for the branch and a red paint pen for the "blossoms". Mission accomplished, I thought they looked so sweet! :::
::: I have been loving not having anywhere to be! No classes or internships for me to get to, no pre K drop off for me to get out the door for! Being able to stay in your jammies all day with your kids is so great, soak it up! :::
::: I have been enjoying sneaking moments here and there to read The Passion of the Hausfrau by Nicole Chaison that came in the mail last week. I am so enjoying this read and would highly recommend it! Housebound for many a day, it is nice to read something that makes you nod your head and go "yeah!" :::
::: Do you know how long it has been since we have made rice crispie treats? Too long! No reason why, they simply just never came to mind, but I suddenly had the stragest craving for them, and lucky for me, we had all of the ingredients! It is the world's laziest treat, but these are too yummy! :::
::: Have I mentioned that I love to knitt? Love it. I started my first big blanket this year, making many smaller squares (good for traveling) that can be put together later. I would work on it daily, but then got out of the routine. I'm so happy to be back at it and am really looking foward to having a new comfy handmade blanket to snuggle up under this fall! :::
::: Walks to the park (weather permitting), bouquets of flowers, little hands, sticky from ice pops... need I say more? :::
These are the ramdom things that bring us joy and make us smile on these wet and chilly days of June!
Life is really good.
