Kissy face

Today was probably the most productive day in months. I placed a camp order, tons of prizes and toys for the kids. We handed out post cards to the businesses in town. I got t shirt prices (but have yet to actually place an order). I paid my speeding ticket before getting a notice in the mail! This is pretty huge for me, being the procrastinator that I am. Proof of my legendary procrastination skills comes in the money owed to school. Who I am happy to say received an e mail from me today promising speedy payments now that I am thankfully employed. I really do have a certain gentleman to thank for all these accomplishments. Now that he is finished working he has become my biggest helper and motivation for getting the dirty business out of the way. Feels good, like living someone elses life for a bit lol. I'm being led to believe the only true key to success is initiative and organization. Who knew?

On a very lovely and free Sunday Jakey and I went on an adventure including Big Breakfast (a fast growing tradition), Colasantis, and flower shopping. Here is my photo essay:

Me playing with a baby who tried to eat my favourite jeans. Monster.

More fun with the goats. I had this really funny feeling they knew they were being mocked.

Playing kissy face with beauty. We taught her to say "How yu durrrin?"
All in all fantastic. The past 2 days have felt like an entire week of glorious breakfasts, car rides, flower shopping, sunshine, pizza dinners and movie nights. I can have my cake and eat it too.

Back to semi reality today. I taught my fantastic art attack class that consists of five of the cutest little girls you will ever meet in one room. They will all be beautiful girls one day, each one in her own way is stunning. I love watching them dance and play and paint. Most of the time they are more taken up with cutting up pieces of feathers and pipe cleaners than actually creating a unified craft. They can just sit there and watch the glitter on their hands and never think to glue it to anything. Beads are more fun loose in your pockets than on string and the little shapes that come from cutting holes in paper are more interesting than the empty spaces left in the paper. I hate inhibiting crafts anyways. I would much rather prefer to let them come up with own creation than anything I suggest.

I could go on but I have to try and sleep. I have a day of babysitting tomorrow with my boys. Hopefully they're tired in the morning and we can all relax together. I've had trouble sleeping lately and don't really know why. Strange dreams and trouble waking up are becoming a constant nuisance.


Much love
