a most laid back kind of day

is what we're having here, and we all needed it.

I have to work a couple hours tonight, but that's it for the whole entire day. Saturday and Sunday are each going to be twelve hours, plus showing houses in a snowstorm is not something I look forward to.

But today, we're soaking it up--the dark overcast sky, the comfortable warm house, the easy company, still in pajamas, some of us. They're working on a packet about Idaho. Yep, potatoes, mountains, all that. James has told me he hates these state packets and isn't going to make it through the rest of the alphabet.

Well. Okay then. He'll have to live in ignorance for now. I've been living in that for a pretty long time. We can keep each other company.

James is upstairs practicing his trumpet right now. He started taking lessons last spring, and he's turned a corner, I think. All at once it sounds like music.


We've got this guy here today, all by himself. He's so sweet I could gobble him up. He no longer eats legos and he's quite happy to get down into the big room where the lego table is. We moved it down there in the first place mostly because of his eating habits.


The kids put gel in his hair so he and Tim could be twins.


Just now he showed the dog his empty can of puffs and told her, "All gone, Sam."

Sigh. I love these little boys.

Here are some pics from yesterday. We had b.g. here yesterday, not looking like a baby anymore in a flannel shirt and real pants with pockets and all. He strides around thinking he's a kid!



His hair does this when he sleeps, just like my sister's used to.


And a few pics from the rowdy Cat Tea Party.

to hell with cats. where's the food?

cat mummies? who knows?





And that's that.


Time to continue resting up for the weekend,so another cup of cocoa is exactly what we need. Happy Friday. love, Val
