... aka Busy At Home Mom ! Ahahah ! It's been two days that the weather's been like this ... (pic from yesterday around 04.30pm)
... so trying to do everything at home (though I had been so busy recently that I'm ALMOST chore free these days !), and trying to keep these two devils at home is a full time task ! Phew ! We do have cozy moments indeed, and "wild/crazy" moments too.
I'm enjoying my job so much, but when the boys are on vacation, I have even more work in the day, needless to say ! It's been hard to squeeze a little craft time this week, but I managed to sew a bit, like you must have seen in the previous posts.
I managed to create few (but oh so precious) quiet moments, by inviting the boys in our bed, with a handful of books (and other things to look at) for each one. Toasty & cozy, and happy to be reading in mom & dad's bed when it's raining & cold outside ... doesn't that sound like bliss, uh ? :D Of course it doesn't last very long, but every minute is MUCH appreciated ! (specially the short term silence that comes with it !)
And this morning, I even managed to bring with me in bed a couple of Gooseberry Patch books, a festive mug of warm latte, and something for me to sketch/doodle ideas, and had something like 15mn to myself .... aaaaah ... 15 loooooong minutes ! {I found out very recently that my brain does find great ideas, yeah, but around 11.45pm, and then it's a bit TOO late for me to work further on them ... uh}
This morning also (and it's only 01 pm) I reorganized the boys' crafts supplies, using the metal box/tin (like round Swedish biscuits tin) that Chris brings back each Wednesday with cookies, to sort them all. Stickers, rubberstamps, ink pads, crayons, supplies (glue, scissors etc), (homemade) lacing cards ... you see what I mean. I'm still sorting out all the papers, drawings, activity folders & books, that lived nearby ... I supposed some of them will be used this afternoon. :)
OK, have to go now. Dishes are crying in the sink ... desperately waiting for me ... I can not ignore them anymore ... :D
Have a great weekend everyone, and a safe & joyful Halloween to those who celebrate. (we don't) OXOXOXO Big hugs !

ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween, Sonia! The spider web below is a fantastic photograph and very appropriate for the holiday. We had a little rain last night which was quite a break from our October weather which has been mostly in the 80's and 90's. Enjoy the weekend! (((Hugz)))
