Wednesday Morning Ramblings...

This morning I am sitting in a quiet house in my pajamas, finally taking a deep breath.
In silence.
Two whole hours of quiet I will have.
Bliss.
We sent Wyatt back to school today and Eric took both of the kids, I do love Wednesdays.

***********
This is just a little of what is on my mind, in no particular order....

* we have been enjoying these pretty flowers all week, they are from the funeral. i love fresh
flowers in the house. instant happiness.

* putting away all of the hats, mittens, scarves, boots. but i know the minute i do we will
need them again.

*yesterday at preschool charlotte's class got to squeeze their own lemons for lemonade and they
made their own sidewalk chalk, too. how fun is that? so in the afternoon we decided to squeeze our
own lemons for lemonade and it was so good. yum.

* i take pictures of these same two churches all the time. like all the time.
i pass them both every school day, at least twice.
i love taking pictures of churches, sorry if you are sick of seeing them.

* i really, really need this print. absolutely perfect.

*last week i took the kids down by the river in the park where i had seen a bunch of shells before.
you would have thought it was the coolest place ever, they collected a bunch of shells.
imagine what they would do if they were to go to the ocean-which, by the way, i hope we can do soon.

* still going back to look at this house...just one more time. i am so in love, in awe and inspired by
joy's home and it has got me ready to get some things done around here. like now...sometimes i
get stuck..or nervous to try something crazy but i am going for it. thank you, joy.


*which brings me to this picture. eeek. i am almost too embarrassed to show it. this is the
playroom in the basement that has previously been used pretty much for storage. this is the
playroom in process. it needs a lot of work. see the nasty carpet? and the walls?
yuck. for now i need to do a mini-makeover without painting or taking up the carpet.

* we finally moved the play kitchen down there, it has been in the dining room for the last
couple of years now. i was kind of sad to move it out of our main living space but i think
it will get lots of use down there.

*ella the elegant elephant... i LOVE this book. so cute.

* and this print? wow. i need to stay off etsy and pinterest. naahhhh, never mind, no i don't : )
