things I will miss

When they grow up, I will miss stuff like this.    Julia brought those big letter cut outs she made and instructed me where they were to be placed--right above our bed.

I see this in real estate all the time.  People decorate with their children's names on the wall.  It's nice, but we've never done it.   We tend not to have great walls for this kind of thing, slanted ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms and odd window placements.   Plus I'm not very good at Pottery Barn decorating.   I like it when someone else does it, but am lost on my own.

And this: 

That is a fancy bracelet with glass beads and a magnet clasp.  He's attached one magnet to the clip that holds the mirror, and the other to the scissors.   (Those are actually pretty strong magnets.)

Yep, my squirrels are going to grow up.

But not today.   They're out in the kitchen making sponge cake and whipped cream desserts right now--no idea why, but that's okay.   There's no wrong time for eating those.

Happy Tuesday.    love you kids forever, MOM
