Hi Everyone! Happy Monday! 

A few things that are lovely today:

1) Botanical Gardens on Saturday, their toy trains weren't running because of cottonwood fluff that looked so much like snow falling down and in the little train village...it was magical...

2) I am loving the end-of-day light right now...makes all the colors so rich...beautiful...

3) I am finally getting a little break from work (been working so hard for what feels like months)...and have been able to not only make a dent in my (previously miles long) TO DO list, but have also been able to do some fun and rejuvenating things...feeling so much better and so much less burnt out...

4) The kids and I are headed up to Colorado this weekend...really looking forward to some time with my family... 

5) Whenever I have mail for the mailbox like I did this morning, I let the kids take it. But they don't just walk it out there, Luke has to get his dump truck and Zo her wagon...the letters go in...they get wheeled out the front door, out the front gate, to the mailbox...and then one kid puts their letter(s) in while the other "waits in line," as Luke said this morning...then close it up...flag up...and race back to the house with the dump truck and wagon. It's the cutest thing ever.

Hope everyone has a great day!

XOXO
