september one: at ease

One of those slow-movin' days, today.

Before my babes woke up this morning I was able to check out three library art books that I picked up last night.... very, very excited -giddy, even- about some of those projects. heeheehee.

I told the children this morning that I'd like to go to a couple of thrift stores. So many people around me are finding fabulousness that this Mama has been feeling left out.
My babes didn't know what I was talking about (they were asking video games? candy?), but we went, anyway-- with the promise of a toy or book, if they could find something they liked.


We hung some laundry and piddled, read Town Mouse, Country Mouse, and then a chapter of Little House In the Big Woods.

Some general running around (exciting things such as a new bra to replace the one that had a broken under-wire and was currently making a hole in my body) which we survived alright to come home and play away the afternoon.

With some same-old-same-old's
and some new
some quiet
and some that raaarrrrr
and beside some that shall just sit for a while, yet.
We sat with favorite computer games

and lazed on the tramp

and built ladders
and windmills
and flowers
and letters.


And all is right with the world.
