Take two.

I am trying to be more zen this morning. It’s not easy. Thanks tumblr.

:) I could definitely learn to be zen in that type of surrounding. (And in this weather..enjoy!)

After looking at photos of works by nature artist Andy Goldsworthy, my 1st graders made their own creations in Central Park.

These are wonderful Barbara. How lucky they are to have you. I truly mean that.

A Night of Whys.

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 10:08:00 -0500

I assumed my 4 year old was sleeping last night but instead her mind was full of all kinds of questions. As I popped in her room to check on her and give her one last good night kiss 2 little eyes were wide open and staring back at me. I said I thought you were sleeping. She smiled and then began the questions:

Why do animals drink dirty water?

Why don’t all animals live in houses?

Why do animals not wear clothes?

Why don’t they wear shoes?

Why does the moon wake up when the sun goes to sleep?

Do they take turns?

etc..

After doing my best to explain things I went to bed and smiled. To think she was laying there for quite some time with question after question on her mind. I could almost see her little brain working. Then I lay there for a long time with question after question on my mind..but not one involved animals without shoes.

I can’t begin to describe how much I enjoy game nights in the company of ~~good~~ friends..no scratch that. Great Friends. We tried this game for the first time on Saturday and we are still laughing and talking about some of the responses that were made. There is some truth in advertising after all.

mynylife:

1972 also saw the addition of a half bath. I adore these tiles. And, since my mom has four of these amazing hand towels, also from that year, I snagged one for me and one for Anna.

I could have highlighted the heart on tumblr but then I would by lying. I more than “like” these. I love them!

This photo saddens me so much. To start your life out this way grasping for food, shelter ..warmth ..company is heartbreaking. Bogotá, Colombia. Year unknown.

beautifulordinaire:

Can you see the dark circles under my eyes? This hat was a labor of love and last night I was so very proud that I finished it before Halloween but this morning our resident baby Ayatollah threw it on the ground and yelled that he wanted to be a dog as he stomped off to his room. A dog. Right. Somehow I have a feeling that once he discovers that you only get candy and chocolate if you are dressed up as something and his only something is a frog he will have a change of mind.

…and a change of heart. Great job momma.

Me: Why are you running away from your poo?
The Cat:
Me: You're right, I probably would, too.
The Cat:
Me: Okay - sometimes I do.

I can never get enough of these conversations you have with your cat. :)

Apparently the social butterfly has been telling all her friends at daycare that we are having a Halloween party at our house complete with 4 different kinds of pie. When I asked her what about me? As in..”what about letting me know?” her wide grinned response was..”you’re invited too!” Gee thanks!

fascinating:

Banjo “Fancy Dancer” … We were going through the dress-up box today trying to select Halloween costumes. This is what Banjo chose. Never to early for cross-dressing, right?

My boy is so pretty …

He is Absolutely Pretty adorable ;) Never too early and just in time to make me smile. :)

whack. oh!

I don’t know what’s wrong with me by now you’d think I’d learned my lesson. Once again, after experiencing tremendous hair frustration I took a pair of scissors and whacked about 5 inches off the bottom. Think puff ball with legs. This is the reason your hairdresser deserves a great tip. I should take a photo and hang it next to my scissors..just in case I ever get this brilliant idea..which I am sure I will. Glutton.

Happy Shoes..Happy day. Many months ago my younger brother sent these shoes to my daughter. He wanted her to have “happy shoes” just like she had when she was smaller. Only the box arrived and they were HUGE…HUMONGOUS. It was a family joke that she would eventually fit and wear them when she went off to college. Luckily she didn’t have to wait that long. The wait is over..and her feet couldn’t be happier.
