Our moose, thoughts on losing baby teeth + I heart mud season

  1. Courthouse and a visit to the moose there is an annual ritual when the car registration needs to be renewed...
  2. Luke: "I have a loose tooth. But it's not as loose as you might think."
  3. And also: "When the tooth fairy comes, she plants a seed in your mouth. And from that grows a tooth."
  4. Flights from LAX to Hawaii are booked for me and the kids and the dog! And I'm determined to make our unexpected Colorado-to-California road trip super fun...
  5. Good news from my husband yesterday :)
  6. Making time to meditate each day...been a while since I've done that...
  7. Sparkly Jupiter and Venus in the night sky...
  8. I love mud season when the town gets so sleepy and quiet...and everything turns green...and finally days are warm...and it smells like spring, ahhh...
  9. A beautiful white fox trotting out into the road, taking a look at me, trotting back the way he came
  10. Sleeping with the windows open and waking to birds chirping...

Happy Wednesday!

  1. Happy boys making a mud pit on the playground after school... :)
  2. Stressed and overwhelmed this morning (well, all day really)--I've got more going on then there are hours in the day--but a walk made it so much better...
  3. A book of poems I was loving reading to the kids went missing about a month ago...and magically reappeared tonight, yay!
  4. Playing Zoey's flashcard game that she made at dinner tonight, love the elaborate rules...
  5. This too shall pass...
