grateful this morning for
spring flowers blooming
cozy pajama bottoms
clean laundry (even if i still have to fold it all)
my daughters' joint imaginary play: setting up a picnic, having speech therapy, playing school, pretend bakery or ice cream shop or restaurant- as i watch and overhear them interact, laugh & talk it makes me some special category of super-happy-to-be-their-mom
sunshine streaming through my windows
the brilliant combination of chocolate & peanut butter
ruby's chubby thighs & squishy arms
thinking about & making art
my daughters' new room arrangement (orchestrated by me, thank you very much)
working with a great people in our district to help m mainstream
rest at the end of a long day
small arms flung around my neck in a snuggle moments after big screams and tantrums
chalk drawing on our driveway
great water pressure in our shower
my girls sleeping til at least 7 am two days in a row!
paint
a few moments to blog
today's breakfast: cafe fanny granola + strawberries + yogurt + the cup of coffee matt made for me
good friday & easter- the epitome of good & hard (but in the other order- starting with the hard leading to the good)
our little chickens (they are already getting so big! wait, did i even post our cute chicks on here? oh! we have 9 chicks (3 are for my mom, but we are brooding them for her)! and a coop thanks to my friend nicole! they are super cute.)
day 1:
and..
already getting so big!
already getting so big!
yesterday:
their home for now as they stay warm and grow feathers:
last but not least,
this hilarious video about hipsters.
(there's no potty mouth in the video, just in the title)
i am so not a hipster, but am guilty of a couple of these
(ahem, instagram, blogging about working conditions in china, taking pictures of my feet)
this may be funnier to my living near or in oakland pals, since this is pretty dead on, but still- for your viewing pleasure:
funny video. but i am in love with the chicks...enjoy your farm fresh eggs...in 6 months or so.
ReplyDeletethey are really so cute- and have a home thanks to you! i am getting so exited for your trip to paris by the way!!
Deletethat video is rad. hipster things to include: he was wearing his Toms, bike obsession, coffee snob, cutting your own hair (or paying $100 to make it look like you cut your own hair), never washing your hair (or paying $100 for product to make it look like you never wash your hair), bangs, local-sustainable-organic-fairtrade-farmers markets, urban farming, pretending to care but still spending hundreds of dollars on Apple iProducts, and Target.
ReplyDeletehaha i know- so right on.
Deletei think you two should collaborate on a sequel video. just sayin'
Deletesee? this is my fear! I am SO not urban hip. i am going to be the unhip bay area dork. (:
