Grab some warm blankets,
and throw them into the back of the truck.
You wear these,
I'll wear this...
You should probably leave your razor at home.
We can share this (it's coffee plus Bailey's).
I'll flip the pancakes,
You fry the bacon.
Let's ignore our schedules, turn off our phones...
And throw away the map.
Let's get a little lost. Let's go camping.
Today:
I made oatmeal
French pressed my coffee
Said some sweet things to my girl Emma as she left for school
Spent 45 minutes at the gym pedaling a bike that didn't go anywhere
Changed light bulbs
Changed bedding
Made brownies
Made granola bites
Prepped for my childbirth class
Helped with math
Ran the dishwasher 3 times before dinner
Listened to Laurel read
Prepared salmon
Swooned over all the lovely words and images here
Hung towels out to dry
Swept the kitchen floor
And then...
I took the kids on a little evening walk.
Sometimes life is about doing big things in big ways. Other times it is just a series of small, seemingly insignificant things done quietly. I think we should celebrate big and small. There is beauty and meaning in both. In fact, I think collectively, the small things are actually quite big.
...I buy things based purely on their packaging.
...I think dessert is the most important meal of the day
...The best place in the whole world is on an air mattress in the the pool.
...I wake up next to this little boy.
...We go on froyo dates.
...I wonder what it looks like from where you are.
...You just need a list.
...I can hardly believe these kinds of things are happening! (6th grade orientation today) Lockers?
I know I've been a lazy iphone photographer. I'll try to get my camera out again soon. Back to enjoying the last week of summer vacation...
