Grace in small things, February 1, 2016

1. I got Luke and Zo each a Valentine's heart to decorate when I was down in Junction the other week...Zo's red with stick-on sparkly jewels, Luke one you could paint blue and make into a heart-shaped robot. They didn't want to make their crafts though...Luke wanted red sparkles and Zo the blue robot...I thought that's what they wanted for themselves, but turns out, they wanted to make them to give to each other. Awwwww....
2. New games invented today: "roly-poly," which involves getting inside a pillow case and rolling around on the bed, and "kung-fu," which involves running from one end of the couch to the other and kicking pillows with everything you've got...
3. Daddy spotted a fox outside tonight and hustled the kids out to see...they were mesmerized...
4. Kids entertaining themselves while I cleaned the master bedroom/bathroom this morning with "disco chips" (sparkle poker chips with some special history for me...long story...) and a couple pieces of wrapping paper "wrapping" books over and over
5. Work was just not coming together for me today like I wanted it to...but luckily there were no urgent deadlines...days like this are frustrating but I'm getting better at going with the flow of it...I'm almost always crazy-productive...the occasional day where that's not the case is not the end of the world...

XOXO
