it's been a busy week here! lots of running around getting stuff done, knocking things off the list. you know the one- meetings, appointments, etc, that somehow get pushed back and ignored for far too long. definitely feels good to take care of some of those things, and i always wonder why it took so long when it really ends up not being all that bad after all. i wish i could say that things will be quiet for the weekend, but i know that i'm going to be working like a madwoman to wrap up the summer shop. which, btw, is coming along rather nicely. i have been knocking out computer work every night after the kids go to bed. all product images were uploaded to the site last night, and today i am working on typing up descriptions. so they're in there, folks! it's happening! tonight though, it's harry potter. oh, i have been waiting.
other than that, i have been spending much of my time just following dotty around the house, in and out of rooms, in circles around the kitchen and living room. she's so fast- and wants to be everywhere, seeing everything, picking up anything along the way. and once she's lost interest in one thing, she just drops it where she's standing at that very moment and moves along. so i am constantly picking up this and that and kind of fighting a losing battle of keeping things in their place. she's full of questions right now too. it's just about the cutest thing, i will try to get a little recording. almost everything she says ends in a high pitched question mark kind of way. "day, yaaaa? doooy yaaaa? naaaaa? aaaaahhh? ayeee yaaaa?" and so on.
once again, henry has been bitten by the lego bug. he has these phases, where he is just absolutely sumberged in lego land for weeks on end. building things all day long. and then, out of no where, he'll just pack 'em up and lose interest for a while. he's been spending some pretty quiet mornings back in his room, just humming and building. lost in his own little world. that must be pretty nice- to not really have any care or concern about anything else but that thing that is right in front of you- and to be so in the moment. just peaced out. oh to be a kid.
wishing you a happy friday! i hope to be back at least once more today, if all goes well.
xo!
Oh, those perfect baby thighs! So, so sweet!!

what video camera do you use? We have a first generation flip, which is great, but is not compatible with leopard os for mac, so we are in the market for another before our baby gets too big! thanks!

I'm 23 and I love lego! I even got a tub of it for Christmas - not even a little box! Me and my OH played lego on and off solidly for about two weeks after Christmas - then we decided we needed to put it away so we could deal with housework and things like that lol
