Kites and crepes and stuff

I left my camera battery charger on spring break. It's coming back to me in the mail shortly (thanks Dad). Good thing the trusty ol' iphone still works, otherwise you wouldn't see what a lovely weekend we had. ​

​Sun, and wind, and kites, and picnics, and climbing trees, and crepes, and showers, and blossoms, and soup, and steam. 

You know what they say... "it's all fun and games until your favorite 9 year old falls and breaks her wrist!" (It's not bad... but no swim team for a month!) Bummer. ​

All before 9am

I was up at 4:13am. I'm not great at sleeping.

Already today:​

Made more coconut scrub and shaved my legs. I'm soft now.​

Made muffins.​

Made a nest (see picture above).​

Made tea (I'm not getting sick!!!!).

Wrote three blog posts. All queued up and coming your way.​ Sorry for slacking.

Hung some laundry outside to dry.

Took the dog outside. I had wet hair and he really takes his time. Brrr.​

Cleaned up some puke (2 year old with post-nasal drip and an intense gag reflex).​

Spoke with an unnamed child about installing a filter between her thoughts and her words.​

Soothed another unnamed child through a sudden emotional morning meltdown. ​(Her PE clothes didn't get washed.)

Packed lunches, fried eggs, toasted bread.​

​​Helped bathe, braid, dress, and pack backpacks.

Googled "my dog ate a starfish". Fletcher has a tummy ache.

Considered going to the gym for cycling class. (That's as far as I got)

Considered what I should make for dinner. (That's as far as I got)​

Researched a vacation rental in Seabrook.​ I think we should go!

Drooled over these shoes and this view.​

....................​

Happy day everyone. One foot in front of the other.​

layers of...

lace, polka dots, denim, and copper.

trees, twilight, and drops of rain.

salt and pepper.

goose down, flannel, squishy skin, and messy morning hair.

tree tops, sleepy town, and soft blankets of white.

wool, flannel, thermal,  and rhinestones.

Happy Friday. I hope the weekend brings you layers of things that you love.
