Nothing much,although I did get the girls some overseas pen pals so they will be busy writing letters while I read some books. We have a snow day today so no school. 🙂
Last night we busied ourselves with camping…indoors. Well it is February and Ireland! So after a dinner of burgers cooked on a fire in the wheelbarrow in the garden, toasted marshmallows and carrot cake for desert, My husband, son and I tucked up in a tent in the living room in the dark, reading Harry Potter by torchlight. Great fun had by all!
Last week has been special because Ben's mom and sister were in town (they haven't been here in a few years), so we were relishing our time together. There was a lot of special grandmama time with the girls, and a lot of sister bonding time between Ben's sister and me. We saw them in Texas this past Christmas, but it's been awhile since they've been on our turf, so we are having fun hosting and cooking them some of our favorite foods. If you know us, well, more the girls and me (not Ben), the first thing on the agenda was take them to our favorite ice cream place, A la Minute. His mom and sister agreed that their ice cream is pretty terrific and the best they both ever had. There wasn't much on our agenda during their stay except spend quality time together. We did have plans to go to the Lavender Festival, but Ben's mom and sister got sick the last two days, so we had to scrap that idea. Thankfully, the festival will be going on next weekend, so Ben and I are hoping we can still take the two little ones. It was a fast 5 days with them and we look forward to seeing them again in July when they come back to drop off the big girls.

Busy moving into my new (basement) studio-trying to get it together.
Love the polaroid!
Painting too! And history homework– with these snow days I've got all of my online work done for the rest of February!
Hello there. I recently stumbled upon your blog and I've been addicted since!
I have a question about Polaroid film. I know where you buy it, but how in the world do you know when it's not out of stock?
Trying to get over this cold that has rudely entered our house. Bummer…sick kiddos is never fun, for them or us!
reading… lots and lots of reading, oh and tea sipping (we have a lot of rain over here in Korea)!
