What a weird week. I can’t say that I’m sad to see it end, though I am looking forward to today so much. I’m so glad the comments on the photos from my last post were seen as being happy because that’s exactly what it felt like….happy and joyful. And then something happened. Perhaps it was the full moon, I don’t know, but my emotions heightened and I had a few rough, what I like to term, crazy days that followed. Oh wretched hormones please pass quickly…
I was busy which was one of the reasons why I didn’t blog and was staying off the internet, but my state of mind led me to believe it was the best thing for everyone. So here are a few of this weeks highlights I think I would have posted about had I had my wits about me:
01. saturday morning
This is what I woke up to last Saturday morning. The four of them singing along to some song on the internet. They were so content in the moment being together I just took a picture and left them to their business and headed back to bed to read. Not a bad start to the day. Today Jill is waking up to my girls and I hope she is given the same amount of peace, though I have a feeling there has already been a lot of asking for food.
02. game night
And I can’t talk about the girls having a sleepover without mentioning the reason it came about in the first place. After what seemed like all summer long we are back…game nights have resumed. I didn’t realize how much I missed our nights together, laughing, bantering back and forth, winning or loosing in my case until we started up again. Plus it’s fun to see how excited the girls are when they know their going to hang out with cousins.
03. smell of rain
It rained this week. A most delicious rain. Megan had a friend over at the time and they went outside to play in it. As I heard their giggles and ran to get my camera I heard Meg say to her friend, “I love the smell of rain it’s so…fresh.”
04. create wednesday | week 2
My friend Amy called me Thursday and the first thing out of her mouth was, “what did you do for creative wednesday?” It took me a moment to compose myself thinking, oh man did i do something… I was happy to report that I did, in fact, use my time being creative. I made another pair of earrings for my giveaway, I made 1 earring from 2 different earring sets (couldn’t decide which one I liked better), I made raspberry freezer jam, and re-covered two long over do chairs. I still have two to go, but I ran out of staples. It’s good to know that someone is keeping me accountable for my time, thanks Amy. Did you do something creative this week?
Have a great Saturday!
xo, amy
